A concert band is a musical ensemble typically made up of woodwind, brass, and percussion instruments. Unlike orchestras, concert bands do not include string instruments. They perform a wide variety of music, including classical, contemporary, and popular pieces, often in concert halls or outdoor venues. Concert bands are commonly found in schools and communities, providing opportunities for musicians of all ages to play together. They may also participate in competitions and festivals. Notable examples of concert bands include the United States Marine Band and various university bands that showcase the talents of their members.
