DIRECTOR
MCB is led by Music Director Mark E. Olson, the Director of Bands for Harvard University and an accomplished trumpet player.
VOLUNTEER

The band’s mission is to promote greater knowledge and appreciation for wind music while bringing enjoyment to its listening audience.
HISTORY
MCB traces its roots all the way back to the Boston Tea Party, but the musical aspect began as a marching band in the 1950s. We later evolved into a concert band and gave our first performance in the spring of 1975 at Memorial Hall in Melrose.
SEASON
From September to May, MCB presents a series of pops and holiday concerts. During the summer months, the band can be heard playing traditional outdoor concerts in town parks and commons throughout the region.
