ABOUT US
The Golden Eagle Concert Band (GECB) is a 70 piece all-volunteer adult community band consisting of men and women of all ages and backgrounds. We are active throughout the Denver metropolitan area and the state of Colorado. The versatility of the GECB music collection includes Marches, Patriotic, Pop, Classical, Jazz, Rock, Broadway show tunes, TV themes, Big Band music, and more.
​
Our performances include four formal concerts each year at Wheat Ridge Center for Music and Arts. The band also performs many indoor and outdoor concerts during the summer for the general public, retirement communities, festivals, churches, and private organizations. The band recently performed at the City of Golden July 4th festivities. ​
The band rehearses weekly throughout the year, with the exception of December, on Thursday evenings at Wheat Ridge Center for Music and Arts located at 7530 West 38th Ave in Wheat Ridge, Colorado.
OUR HISTORY
Founded in 1977, the Golden Eagle Concert Band was originally called the Gold Nugget Brass Band and was owned and directed by Don Smith, a former circus trumpet player. After fourteen years, Don Smith decided to retire and started to dissolve the band. The band members wanted to continue playing, so the name was changed to the Golden Eagle Brass Band and the non-profit organization was formed in 1991.
​
In 1996, the GECB became an IRS 501(c)(3) non-profit organization which made the band eligible for grants from corporations, foundations, and the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District (SCFD). The GECB has received grants from the SCFD Tier III in Arapahoe, Broomfield, Denver, Douglas, and Jefferson counties and private donations. In 2007, the Band changed its name to the Golden Eagle Concert Band, which more accurately represented the instrumentation of the band. ​
The goals of the Golden Eagle Concert Band are: (1) to provide concerts that educate and entertain Colorado communities with music from many different genres and (2) to further opportunities for adult musicians with various levels of proficiency to develop their musical skills and participate in a concert band.
