The Amador County Concert Band proudly represented Northern California in June 2010, when it was selected to perform in Washington D.C. for the National Community Concert Band Sousa Festival, a salute to the legendary march king, John Philip Sousa. Under former musical director Ernie Kapphahn, the band gained very high recognition and since the bands return, has gained new members, some traveling from as far away as Sonora, Placerville, El Dorado Hills, Cameron Park, and Sacramento.

The band also performed last year at the Golden Gate Park Band Festival in June and played under the historic band shell. The Amador County Concert Band represented our Northern California area and was one of the largest ensembles to perform over the weekend, receiving a very special recognition award for an outstanding performance. The band was also selected to also perform in Carmichael Park on June 4th for a special one-hour concert.
