The GECB is active throughout the Denver metropolitan area and Colorado, presenting band music in the style of the early 20th century to the present. The organization is a full-fledged concert band, including brass, woodwind and percussion instruments. The GECB plays concerts for the general public, nursing homes, hospitals, community festivals, holiday celebrations, churches and private organizations. The band rehearses weekly throughout the year on Thursday evenings at the Edgewater United Methodist Church in Edgewater, Colorado. Many concerts are free to the public. The GECB's formal concert series, including concerts throughout the year, are ticketed and performed at venues throughout the Denver metropolitan area. The GECB celebrates its 40th Anniversary in 2017. Founded in 1977, the Golden Eagle Concert Band was originally called the Gold Nugget Brass Band and was owned and directed by Don Smith, a former circus trumpet player. After fourteen years, Don Smith decided to retire and started to dissolve the band, but the band members wanted to continue playing so they changed the name to the Golden Eagle Brass Band and formed a corporation to operate the band. Various members of the band have taken up the baton between hiring conductors like Dorsey Hudson, John Williams, Scott Christie and Tucker Ewer. In 1996 the GECB became an IRS 501(c)(3) non-profit organization which made the band eligible for grants from corporations, foundations and the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District (SCFD). The GECB has received grants from the SCFD Tier III in Arapahoe, Broomfield, Denver, Douglas and Jefferson counties and private donations. In 2007, the Band changed its name to the Golden Eagle Concert Band which more accurately represents what the band is - a traditional concert band, or wind ensemble. The goals of the Golden Eagle Concert Band are: (1) to perpetuate the music and tradition of the American hometown civic band that provides opportunities for families to spend quality time together while listening to concert band music; (2) to provide enlightening and entertaining concerts for the public; and (3) to further opportunities for adult musicians with various levels of proficiency, to develop their musical skills and participate in a concert band at no cost."
