The Jackson Hole Community Band is a volunteer
organization established in 1989, playing concert band music
for recreation and community service. Players range in age from
early-teens to the eighties. We have no skill level requirement,
but prefer people who have played at least the junior high skill
level. The typical number of years from previous playing experience
to Jackson Hole Community Band is 15 to 25 years. It's never
too late to join!
We began with a
core group of 20 people, and now boast a membership of approximately
50. A typical rehearsal draws 30-40 musicians, with an average
38 musicians playing for big events such as concerts and parades.
The level of enthusiasm has multiplied since the Band's inception,
not to mention the increase in requests to perform and the overall
quality of the performances. As a group, we strive to provide
total enjoyment for the audience and members alike. The Wyoming
Centennial Committee has designated the Band as a "Living
Legacy," and to date, we have performed to an estimated
360,000 people at an average 25 community events per year. In
September of each year since 1997, we have performed as an integral
part of the "Old Bill's Fun Run for Charities" sponsored
by the Community Foundation of Jackson Hole.
