The North Oakland Concert Band, comprising some eighty dedicated musicians with wide-ranging talents and musical experiences, is one of Michigan's leading wind bands.  With roots deep in the Lake Orion and Oxford area, the band draws audiences from the entire Southeast Michigan area, offering eight or more concerts every year, including outdoor programs in area parks during the summer months. Led by long-time musical

director, Annette Kline, the musicians of the NOCB delight in performing a broad selection of concert band music, with styles ranging from traditional marches and classical transcriptions, to modern works written especially for the concert band; from Big Band favorites to light Jazz.

The musicians of the North Oakland Concert Band come together each week to share music, an essential part of life for each member, no matter what their individual profession or career. The goal is to improve their musical skills, to experience the joy of ensemble playing, and then to share the result with audiences of all ages who enjoy hearing the artistry of passionate performers. Entering their 36th concert season, the North Oakland Concert Band looks forward to providing music that amazes, surprises and moves the hearts of their growing base of loyal listeners throughout the Great Lakes area.
