Support the Classic City Band and its ensembles!
The Classic City Band depends upon corporate sponsors and private donors to support its musical and operational base, from instrumentation to travel expenses, purchasing music, and maintaining our 400-piece library. Big Band Athens and other small ensembles of the band function separately, but they follow the by-laws and decisions of the board of the Classic City Band.
The Classic City Band invites you to become a special donor or a corporate sponsor and to be listed prominently as a supporter on future programs. All gifts to the Classic City Band are tax-deductible. Suggested levels of giving are listed below.
Section Leaders: $40 – $99
First Chair Leaders: $100 – $499
Conductor’s Circle: $500 – $1000

50th Anniversary Composition Commission Project
The Classic City Band, Georgia’s oldest continuously operating community band, will turn 50 years old in 2026. We’d like to celebrate this anniversary by commissioning compositions from composers the world over, and you can help! Your gift will help support the band, increasing its national and international profile; your gift will directly assist in the creation of new music. We are hoping to raise $50,000 (to celebrate 50 years of music making in Georgia); it’s an ambitious goal, which we can only reach through your help. Please consider donating to the 50th anniversary composition commissioning project!
