The Maine Pops Concert Band - based in Scarborough, Maine – has announced the dates for its fall, holiday, and spring concerts for its 2024-2025 season.
The 100-member community concert band will perform its fall concert on Sunday, November 3, its holiday concert on Sunday, December 15, and its spring performance on Sunday, April 27. All concerts will begin at 2:30 p.m. The band is working to establish venues for each of the concerts, based on concert facility availability. As soon as venues are confirmed, the band will announce further details.
After concluding a successful summer concert season with eight performances conducted throughout the greater Portland area, the Maine Pops returns to rehearsals on September 4 at Scarborough High School. The band rehearses every Wednesday evening from 7 to 9 p.m. at Scarborough High’s band room unless school requirements are scheduled.
As of September 2, nearly 100 musicians have renewed their commitment to the Maine Pops and more renewals are expected. Although membership is open to community musicians and does not require auditions, the Maine Pops is currently limiting recruitment to specific instrumental needs. Currently, the band needs oboists. If local musicians are interested in joining the Maine Pops, please contact band president Bob Swerdlow at president@mainepops.org.
