The Bloomington Community Band presents TUNES FROM THE CRYPT, a showcase of macabre music accompanied by classic black and white horror videos. We’ve dug up all your favorite ghoulish tunes, from The Addams Family theme to Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” to Bach’s Toccata and Fugue in D Minor! Come celebrate Halloween in costume with your Bloomington Community Band.
The Bloomington Community Band is an all-volunteer concert band comprised of 50 to 60 musicians ranging in age from 18 to 85. Proclaimed by the Mayor in 2012 as Bloomington’s Official Community Concert Band, the BCB has been a distinguished feature of our city’s artistic identity for almost four decades. A community band has figured prominently throughout Bloomington’s history, with roots tracing back to the Seward town bands of the mid and late 19th Century. Since we reconvened in 1978, more than 800 adult musicians from all walks of life have joined us to share the joy of making music.
