Founded in 1951, the Cedar Rapids Municipal Band performs 18 free concerts in Cedar Rapids parks during the summer months. Since 2011, the CRMB has sponsored the Young Artist Competition each year to encourage the development of outstanding high school musicians. The winner of the competition will be the featured guest soloist during one week of the summer season and given a financial award of $250 in support of future music endeavors. Runners-up may also be named and have an opportunity to perform with the band. More information about the CRMB and the Young Artist Competition can be found at www.crmuniband.org.
