Concert Band
Save the date for the next Concert Band concert: May 3, 2025!
Our concert band holds two concerts annually, one in spring and the other in winter. We present a vast range of music, from classical pieces to pop tunes, centered on an interesting theme. Past themes include: A Compendium of Beasts, The Tonic of Nature, Roaring Twenties, PFB in SPACE, Elements, and Water is Life.
Jazz Ensemble
Jazz ensemble rehearsals will re-commence in spring 2025.
Our jazz ensemble was re-established in 2023! 🎉 We have held 2 stand-alone concerts, as well as opening for our concert band. The ensemble plays a mix of jazz standards and new tunes.
Marching Band
You can join at any time. We're always welcoming new musicians, color guard members, or volunteers to serve as band aides.
Our marching band performs all year long. Check us out at one of our upcoming events – see our calendar for more details!
