Two Bands, One Mission
Verona Area Concert Bands (VACB) provide opportunities for community members to make music. Through regular rehearsals and concerts in the Verona, Wisconsin area, VACB educates, inspires and entertains participating musicians and audiences alike. We aim for high musical and technical standards, perform works for concert band from many musical genres, and support a vision of music‐making as a lifelong activity.
VACB Is Growing!
We are excited to announce that as of Fall of 2024, VACB has expanded from a single band to two bands: an auditioned Wind Symphony and a non-auditioned Concert Band!
We have been thrilled with the high level of interest in participating! Since our founding, it has been our mission to provide opportunities for community members to make music.
With this expansion, are once again able to provide opportunities to everyone who would like to play with us!
