The Fairborn Civic Band was established in 1996 with Gary C. Johnson recruited as the band's director. 28 years later, the band has developed as a concert band with musicians from Fairborn and neighboring communities. These dedicated, talented musicians provide music for numerous area community/civic functions, enshrinements, festivals, and concerts. Ten years ago (2014), Fairborn Civic Band collaborated with Fairborn AC Strings, comprised primarily of the violin studios of Mrs. Kathy Johnston and Dr. Phillipa Burgess, to form the Fairborn Regional Orchestra (FRO), an incredible boast for our Fairborn community. The FRO collaboration continues with biannual concerts (summer and Christmas) and Fairborn Sweet Corn Festival performances. New wind, percussion and string players are always welcome. Rehearsals are held throughout the year on Thursday evenings at Abiding Christ Lutheran Church in Fairborn. Interested in playing with the band or booking the band for your civic or community event? You may contact Gary at (937) 672-9470 by call or text message or by email: fairborncivicband@gmail.com. Also, follow Fairborn Civic Band on Facebook
