President Chip showed members clips of the band performing. Here is what their website says: The Adrian City Band was originally founded in 1838 by William Tutten as the Adrian Brass Band and over a number of years and consolidations of other area ensembles became the Imperial Band of Adrian and evolved to a full concert band instrumentation. In 1926 the Imperial Band reclaimed its hometown namesake as The Adrian City Band. The ACB is believed to be the one of the oldest continuously active community band in the United States.
This is Adrian, Michigan's own community band. We give free and family-friendly concerts of traditional band music including marches, medleys from nearly every genre, classical transcriptions, and newer art music written specifically for wind ensemble. We frequently feature talented solo musicians from throughout the county.
Over the past 185 years, the Adrian City Band has evolved and developed into an organization that is at its core, a place to share and develop a lifelong passion for music. Generations of musicians have shaped and molded it into a community of individuals who foster a welcoming and encouraging atmosphere and are embracing and accepting of anyone who takes the time out of their lives to be a part of this ensemble. A sense of humor and humility, as well as mutual respect, have also continued to provide us with opportunities to celebrate each other, cultivate treasured memories, and create lifelong friendships with each other and the community members who enjoy our performances. It is our sincere belief that these unique qualities and characteristics are what have sustained us and heave led to the Adrian City Band’s legacy and longevity.
