Building Community Through Music

Bringing musicians and audiences together through the shared joy of live performances.

Our Band

The Maine Pops Concert Band is one of the largest community concert bands in Maine, bringing together musicians from across southern Maine and New Hampshire to share the joy of live music with our communities.

We rehearse Wednesday evenings from 7:00–9:00 p.m. in the Scarborough High School band room during the school year, with occasional schedule adjustments to accommodate school events. During the summer, we go on tour; visiting a number of public venues and private facilities to share our music.

Our small ensembles rehearse and perform year-round, bringing music to schools, senior living communities, hospitals, community events, pontoon boats, and even the Portland International Jetport!

Visit our Upcoming Events page to see what’s coming up, including rehearsals, concerts, and community appearances.

We're always excited to welcome new musicians! While we don't hold auditions, membership is based on the band's current instrumentation needs, and we actively recruit for sections with openings. Today, more than 100 musicians call Maine Pops home.
