Every year, the Nevada County Concert Band (NCCB) brings back to life an
era in American history when the local Sunday Band Concert was a grand social
occasion. Located in the Sierra foothills'
gold country of Grass Valley/Nevada City, the NCCB performs free concerts
at public parks and local events.
In the summer, bring a picnic to the Pioneer Park concert series, or wave
a flag at the curbside with the band at the Independence Day Parade; or enjoy
an indoor ÒformalÓ concert in the winter and spring. Our local volunteer musicians
guarantee to entertain you with a fine selection of family-friendly music.
If you are seeking a true small-town experience, join the hundreds of
loyal NCCB fans at any of the variety of concerts listed at this website.
Once you experience the music and fun with the Nevada County Concert Band,
youÕll come to understand another reason why we believe that the Gold Country
is so special.
BAND WINS AWARD!
Congratulations to us! On Saturday January 30, 2010, the
Nevada County Concert Band was honored to receive the "2009 Live Music Award" from the
Nevada City Chamber of Commerce.
The bandÕs president Cathy Harding and conductor Cheryl Woldseth were
present to receive the award.
They were also treated to a silent auction, raffle, and wonderful meal

wonderful social, musical, and networking benefits of having the NCCBand in
our community. Here are pictures
