HIGHLANDS RANCH CONCERT BAND
Celebrating 25 Years
Our Story
Highlands Ranch Concert Band started in 2001 and is a committed group of amateur to professional musicians dedicated to entertaining the South Denver metro community. We are made up of a Concert Band of 80 musicians and an 18-piece big band, Swing Shift.
Our mission is to provide quality and enjoyable concerts through a variety of musical literature and collaborative performances in order to promote musical arts and a spirit of community for both adults and children in the South Denver metro area.
The Highlands Ranch Concert Band had a wonderful opportunity to celebrate 25 years of performing music on May 3, 2026.
Eighty-five musicians, seven conductors, and generations of families, friends, and community members enjoyed an afternoon of commissioned music, favorite concert pieces, and instrumental soloists.
