Upcoming Events
The Maryland Military Band is looking forward to a terrific year as we begin our musical celebrations of America 250! Some highlights to look forward to:

Memorial Day – The band will not be performing on Memorial Day this year. Music Director Jari Villanueva encourages all musicians to register for and participate in Taps Across America, a nation-wide commemoration that takes place in conjunction with the National Moment of Remembrance at 3 PM (your local time).

Flag Day – We will be performing at The Island Green in Westminster to celebrate Flag Day on Sunday, June 14! Our performances will take place between 3 and 6 PM with breaks between. Come out and celebrate a great symbol of our nation in this 250th Anniversary year, and enjoy patriotic music performed by The Maryland Military Band!

Independence Day – The Maryland Military Band has a whole slate of Independence Day concerts lined up, so hopefully there’s something for everyone!
On Friday, June 26 we will be performing in the Conference Center at Charlestown Retirement Community in Catonsville. Our concert will feature many patriotic favorites and will include an audience sing-along!

On Sunday, June 28 The Maryland Military Band will provide music for a short Independence Day worship service at St. John’s Grace United Church of Christ in Catonsville, followed by a short patriotic concert and an ice cream social! The whole event begins with a BBQ before the service.

And we will be returning to Havre de Grace once again on Sunday July 5 for a concert leading up to the evening fireworks display at Concord Point!

Defenders Day – We are excited to be part of a very special Defenders Day/America 250 commemoration this year on Saturday September 12 at Fort McHenry in Baltimore! We hope you can join us as we perform music from the various eras of the fort’s history, from the War of 1812 to the Civil War, World War One, and then the designation of Ft. McHenry as a national park in 1925.

Veterans Day – The band will perform a Veterans Day concert in Parkville, MD on Saturday November 7

We hope you can join us for some or all of these performances! See our Schedule page for more details and please check back for periodic updates!

The Maryland Military Band is a 501(c)(3) non-profit musical and educational organization in the state of Maryland. Founded in 2017, the Band follows the model of the nation’s premiere military bands by developing well-trained musical ensembles to perform music from the concert band, wind band, and military band repertoire in a variety of ceremonial and concert settings.

The Maryland Military Band performs public concerts for the enjoyment of the citizens of Maryland and is also available to provide musical support to various state, local, and military agencies as well as non-governmental organizations for ceremonies, receptions, other official functions and special events, including civic and patriotic activities in the state of Maryland and the surrounding region. The Band strives for the highest standards in both musical performance and ceremonial protocol, seeking to provide a professional level of ceremonial and musical support that can meet the needs of any government agency, military unit, or veteran service organization. The Band is known for its “theme” concerts which often recognize or commemorate important occasions or anniversaries in the history of our nation and our state.

The all-volunteer membership of The Maryland Military Band includes former and retired musicians from military bands including The US Air Force Band, The US Army Field Band, The US Marine Band, National Guard bands, and The Maryland Defense Force Band, as well as other former and retired members of the US military who served in non-musical fields, current and former music educators, music students, professional free-lance performers, and community members from all walks of life who share a love of military band music.
