The Capital Area Concert Band (The CACB) will perform on Tuesday, December 10, 2024 at 7:00 pm at Trinity Lutheran School’s Parish Hall, 515 S. MacArthur Blvd., Springfield, IL.

This free, one-hour concert will include a fanfare prelude on “Ode to Joy,” a ragtime two-step by Scott Joplin, and an assortment of Christmas tunes including excerpts from “The Nutcracker,” a medley of Christmas songs from the 1950s, and Leroy Anderson favorites “Bugler’s Holiday,” and “Sleigh Ride.”

Formed in 1974, The CACB celebrated its 50th Anniversary in 2024 with a series of community concerts to share their love of performing while sharing the joy of live music with the Springfield community. Currently, fifty volunteer musicians, ranging in age from 20-80, perform at malls, parks, and community festivals as well as nursing homes, schools, churches, and senior centers. Some of the original band members from 1974 continue to perform with the band today.
