The LBB was formed in 1974 to prepare for the 200th anniversary of the Battle on the Green (April 19, 1775), and has been performing ever since!
The music director of the Lexington Bicentennial Band is Jeff Leonard, an accomplished teacher, performer, arranger, and conductor. Al Dentino is the assistant conductor for the summer concerts.
| The LBB's spring concert will be on Friday April 19th 2024 at 7pm in Cary Hall. This concert is part of the One Year Countdown to Patriots' Day 2025! |
