The Capitol Pops Concert Band originated twenty-six years ago. It emerged from the pandemic last year with new leadership, a new director and increased memberships. It is one of more than a dozen all-volunteer, self-supporting concert bands that enrich Sacramento's vibrant musical arts. Its expanded challenging repertoire is from classic symphonic band arrangements as well as popular folk, patriotic, swing, jazz, march, Broadway and holiday favorites. In each concert, added solo and small ensemble selections delight audiences. Becoming a performing member is by invitation and audition when a vacancy occurs. Members reflect Sacramento's diverse multi-cultural community. All share a common passion for making music!
The Capitol Pops Concert Band has 501(c)3 federal nonprofit status. Tax deductible donations and sponsors are always welcome. The band also maintains a tax-deductible Memorial Fund supporting the music library and a Scholarship Fund promoting talented younger musicians.
An Executive Board elected by the membership provides administrative guidance. The band is a member of the Association of Concert Bands which pay fees to ASAP and BMI.
The Capitol Pops Concert Band Director will select suitably challenging and entertaining music reflecting America's wealth of concert band literature. Weekly rehearsals in the spring and fall concert seasons will enable band members to master the style and intricacy of each selection. Concerts will entertain and educate the audiences in the musical arts while inspiring musicians to share their passion for performing. Mindful of the value in recognizing and assisting talented young musicians, the band will award yearly scholarships.
