Mile High Community Band
Mile High Community Band (MHCB) is a Denver-based,
community-focused organization providing music opportunities
for people of all ages and music skill. MHCB offers four bands
(Beginning, Intermediate, Concert, and Jazz), which provide a
unique and supportive opportunity for people to learn a new
instrument, supplement private lessons, play with a group, and
have fun. We encourage family participation as well, so we not
only have siblings, but also parents and kids participating in the
bands. MHCB performs at community events in the Denver
area. Rehearsals are Thursday evenings at Lincoln High School,
near Federal and Evans, in Denver. Our Web site is at:
http://www.milehighcommunityband.org/. Contact Deborah Ray
