The Maine Pops Concert Band has resumed weekly band rehearsals for the its 2024 Spring and Summer Concert season.

The band rehearses on Wednesday evenings from 7 to 9 p.m., normally at Scarborough High School while school is in session. As always, there will be adjustments to the rehearsal schedule through the year as the local Scarborough schools conduct their own music and theater programs at the high school and middle school levels. The Maine Pops will take all steps necessary to coordinate alternate venues and inform the membership of rehearsal site changes in advance.

The Maine Pops Concert Band continues its recruitment of musicians in Maine and New Hampshire to join or rejoin the band. The band has nearly 100 musicians registered. No auditions are required, but the band is now concentrating on filling specific instrumental voids within sections. Musicians playing bassoon, clarinet, French horn, oboe, percussion and trombone are needed.
