The Boeing Employees Concert Band

The Boeing Employees' Concert Band Mission Statement

We, the members of the Boeing Employees Concert Band, do hereby organize for educational
and charitable purposes, to provide high quality musical enrichment and music education to the
Greater Puget Sound community and to provide musical opportunities to members of the
Boeing Employees Concert Band.

The Boeing Employees' Concert Band starts its twenty-seventh season this fall with the first rehearsal on September 4th, 2007.

The Boeing Employees' Concert Band was formed in 1979, as a club in The Boeing Company Recreation Unit, through the initial efforts of Matt Thornton. The first conductor was Howard Akers, a composer/conductor and arranger who was respected as a fine musician throughout the country. He also donated a large collection of music from his library as editor of Carl Fisher Music Company.

The band plays a wide range of music from lively marches to show tunes, great classics arranged for band and holiday music appropriate to the season.

A typical concert season for the band will include concerts in parks, schools and many other events around the Puget Sound area. We are also pleased to provide live entertainment to audiences who may not have many other opportunities such as retirement centers, company events such as rollouts, anniversaries, special deliveries, go-ahead parties and others where music would be appropriate and appreciated.

As a club in the Boeing Recreation Unit, the band is open to all employees, their families and vendors.

Rehearsals are held on Tuesday nights 7:00pm to 9:00pm, at the Cafeteria in the Boeing South Park training facility.
