— Recipient of the Sudler Silver Scroll —
North America's most prestigious award for community concert bands
The Medalist Concert Band, a volunteer group comprised of 70 Twin Cities area musicians, was founded in the fall of 1968. The primary purposes for the band continue to be to provide adult musicians with an opportunity to perform; to provide Bloomington and the surrounding area with outstanding musical concerts; and to provide young musicians with a model of music as a lifelong avocation.
Since its founding, the band has given over 500 performances, many of them with high school and college bands, at summer concerts-in-the-park, and in church-sponsored programs.
