A Brief History of the Band

The Dundas Concert Band was established in 1873 as a military band. In 1923, the band was renamed "The Dundas Citizens' Band", and became known as the Dundas Concert Band in the early 1940's. Prior to amalgamation with the City of Hamilton, the DCB was the official concert band for the Town of Dundas. Its importance to the town was recognized with annual funding as required. The DCB is incorporated as the Dundas Concert Band Inc. and our mission statement is: "To provide musical entertainment for the community, and to further the musical education and skills for members of all ages".
