WELCOME TO Portland Metro Concert Band

The Portland Metro Concert Band is a 55-member adult band made up of musicians who enjoy playing and performing wind band literature. Participants range from college students to adult amateurs and retired professionals. They represent many fields of endeavor, including business, education, finance, medicine and nonprofit. All the musicians, including the directors, are volunteers.
The band rehearses weekly from fall through spring, and performs formal concerts at the Horner Performing Arts Center at David Douglas High School, area churches, and local community venues. They also participate in the annual Northwest Adult Band Festival in March when it is active.

In 1992, members of the big band at the Milwaukie Elks Lodge, having amassed a large collection of concert band music, formed the Elks Concert Band. Several years later the band changed its name to the Portland Metro Concert Band to better reflect its membership and mission.

The Portland Metro Concert Band is committed to community service through giving public performances to the community and providing rehearsal and performance opportunities for local musicians. The band values the community in which it serves, providing both entertainment and enlightenment through quality musical performances and the rendition of great musical literature. The band believes in supporting longtime musicians, as well as in nurturing the re-identification and restoration of dormant musical talents.
