Artistry •Entertainment •Education
Established in September 2007, the Thornton Community Band, based out of Thornton, Colorado, strives to provide a Denver-metro destination for musicians to make music and friendships, by promoting our three core values of artistry, entertainment, and education in all aspects of our band!
Our first rehearsal was March 13, 2008, with 75 members.
We continue to give a HUGE thank you to the City of Thornton for making a dream a reality in April 2022 by providing the band the use of the McAllister Park Center for band rehearsal, a place to store our music literature library, and a home for our percussion!
