Beneficiary

All Parkville Symphonic Band concerts are free and open to the public. For our April 15, 2012 concert, freewill donations will be accepted to benefit CAPA, the Child Abuse Prevention Association. CAPA works to treat victims of child abuse and prevent its occurrence through counseling, education and community outreach.

Anyone who enjoys making music and who plays a band instrument is welcome to join (see the link on the right). We perform music ranging from show tunes and big band jazz to marches and major symphonic pieces. We work hard, but the mood is always light and friendly.

The band, now in its 17th season, performs four to six concerts each year, with two or more serving as fund raising events for various Northland charities. Park University provides our home base, with rehearsals and most concerts being held in the Graham Tyler Memorial Chapel.
