The All-America Concert Band was organized in September of 1990 by Michael Hogan to provide qualified adult instrumentalists who are not necessarily music professionals an opportunity to perform in public.

The Band, a semi-professional organization, has maintained a membership of about 60 musicians since its beginning. During that time, the Band has developed a more complete instrumentation and has become a very active part of the musical life of the Siouxland community, averaging between five and six concerts each concert season. The Band's performances take place during the months of September through early May.

We are a very unique organization in that every performance is a benefit for a qualifying non-profit 501c3 organization. Because of generous corporate underwriting 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!
