We are your Community Backup Band.
Celebrating 35 years of service to The Albert Lea Area.
The Albert Lea Community Band was formed in January, 1982.
Our volunteers support community and charitable events throughout the year.
Hosted by Albert Lea Community Education, we rely on donations from individuals and local businesses to support our ongoing efforts.


Our Tuesday night practices start on April 16th
We usually have a practice several Tuesday evenings at 7:00 PM prior to a public event.
It's a relaxed atmosphere in which you learn a lot and share a good laugh.
Tuesday evenings 7:00 PM to 8:30PM May through December.
See 2017 Performance schedule above.
