The Band consists of 45-55 brass, woodwind and percussion players ranging from talented high school students to 60-year veterans. Many have professional experience, others are advanced amateur musicians, but one thing is for sure — all love to play!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The July 12th concert will be conducted by Batavia native and resident Joshua Pacino, current band director at Batavia\u2019s Notre Dame High School. Mike Thaine, the Albion High School band director, will be conducting the July 26th concert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founded in the early 1920s, the Batavia Concert Band has brought musical pleasure to the region every year except during World War II and 2020 during COVID.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This project is made possible with funds from the Statewide Community Regrant Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature and administered by GO ART!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Concerts are also currently supported and funded in part by Platinum Sponsors Genesee Community College, Brighton Securities, Farm Credit East, and WBTA, as well as local businesses, program advertisers, service organizations, and<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Batavia Concert Band is also excited to announce the return of radio station WBTA (AM 1490 \/ FM 100.1) as the Official Media Sponsor for our 2023 summer concert series!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
