Now, how can you pass up something with the title “The First Time Ever Old-Time Holiday Radio Pageant Extravaganza!”? “We’re doing it as an old-time radio show,” said James Kopf, the band’s volunteer President. EARLY 1900S ROOTSThe benefit concert supports the NCCB, which started in the early 1970s and was recognized as the county’s official concert band. But early roots go back to the early 1900s with the Grass Valley Concert Band forming by the 1920s. This will be KVMR’s fourth broadcast of a live NCCB concert.
