Now in its 33rd year, the Clarington Concert Band is a dedicated volunteer community ensemble and serves as the principal wind band in the Clarington area. Established in 1992, the band proudly upholds a 177-year tradition of town band music that dates back to Bowmanville’s first documented concert in 1848. Recognized by a resolution passed by the Clarington City Council on December 7, 2009, the band holds the esteemed title of Official Town Band of Clarington.
