The Ann Arbor Concert Band – founded in 1978 as the Ann Arbor Symphony Band by Victor Bordo and David Juillet – has served as an ensemble for amateur musicians desiring to perform wind band literature. The band has its roots in the Ann Arbor School System's music program and continues a close relationship with it today.

The band is a non-profit ensemble of musicians from the community. While it maintains an amateur status, the standards of performance and organization are strictly professional.

Concerts are usually presented four times during the concert season between September and May, typically at the Michigan Theater and Hill Auditorium.

The ensemble has premiered several new works for concert band, including the award-winning composition "Heroes Lost and Fallen" by Dr. David Gillingham, Professor of Composition at Central Michigan University.

The Ann Arbor Concert Band fosters young wind and percussion musicians through the Andrew J. Lum & David R. Juillet Young Artist Scholarship Competition.

Previous conductors of the Ann Arbor Concert Band have included Lloyd Whitehead, David Woike, Donald Schleicher, Jeffrey Campbell, Max Plank, H. Robert Reynolds, William D. Revelli and Victor Bordo.
