How did it all come about?
|
The band is a very unique organization in that every performance is a benefit for a qualifying non-profit 501c3 organization. Because of generous corporate support we receive from area businesses, 100% of the funds raised from the sale of concert tickets is given to our beneficiaries and we have been able to raise thousands of dollars which are reinvested in our communities to make them a better place in which to live.
The name "All-America Concert Band" is associated with the fact that Sioux City was named an "All-America City" in 1990 because of the city's astounding response to the crash of United Airlines Flight 232 in 1989. The members of the Band elected to use that as a part of the Band's name and "Siouxland, USA" indicates that the Band's membership is comprised of persons from the Siouxland region and not just Sioux City. Although one is tempted to put an "n" at the end of All-America that is not the case. We are "The All-America Concert Band" - and proud of it! |
