Make an Impact Today
The Mile High Community Band has been part of the Denver area since 1937. We keep our concerts free and our membership open to anyone who wants to play, from beginners to lifelong musicians. Your donation helps cover sheet music, instrument repairs, venue costs, and scholarships for members who need them. Every dollar stays with the band, and all contributions are tax deductible.
Our community partners
The Mile High Community Band is grateful for the organizations that share our commitment to music and community across the Denver metro area.
Great music takes a great community behind it. We're honored to work alongside West High School, Alameda International Junior/Senior High School, Historic Elitch Carousel Dome, and Edgewater Plaza, organizations that believe in what we're building here.
And a heartfelt thank you to the SCFD for making free, accessible arts programming a reality across the Denver metro area.
