The Naples Concert Band has been providing an important service to our community for nearly 40 years, offering free public concerts in Cambier Park. While all of the musicians donate their time and talent, operating costs to support the paid professional staff (conductors; sound, property, and publicity managers; librarians; etc.) together with administrative and equipment expenses and student scholarships are approximately $50,000 annually. We rely on the generous donations of our patrons for 75 – 80% of our budget.
Here are some suggestions as to how you can support the Naples Concert Band:
- Become a donor of the Band.
