We encourage families to join, with parents and children learning and playing together. If  your child's music education program at public school has been drastically reduced or cut all together, consider the Mile High Community Band.

Established in 1937 as the Denver Junior Police Band, our group has a long heritage of providing music instruction, leadership training, technical discipline and performance opportunities.  Known as the Mile High Community Band since 2001, we are determined to uphold the strong traditions originally established by the original DJP band. Our organization provides consistent, high quality music instruction and performance opportunities for all members of our communities, young and old, experienced and not.

The Mile High Community Band accommodates all levels of playing,  from beginning through highly advanced.  If you play an instrument - or played one in the past - or would like to learn to play one - Mile High Community Band is for you. We have members of all ages, teen through adult - in school, working, and retired.

The Mile High Community Band is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Tax exempt status held since September, 1995.

In July, 2010, the Mile High Community Band will be hosting the inaugural Colorado Community Band Festival at Citizen's Park in Edgewater, Colorado. We are inviting over 40 community bands and wind ensembles from all over the state of Colorado. The main purpose of the festival is to promote all community bands and build awareness about Colorado's rich heritage of band music and community music organizations.
