Join the Fun!

Adults with prior experience playing a band instrument in a high school, college, military, New Horizons, or community band program are invited to join the fun. Just come to a rehearsal with your instrument. That's all there is to it! We do not hold auditions, and we welcome players of all skill levels. Whether you have a music degree or haven't played your instrument in 20 years, you're welcome to come out and play with the band.

Our regular rehearsals are 7:15 - 9:15 p.m. on Thursdays, September to May. We play music of varied skill levels and hold most rehearsals at the Airport High School band room in West Columbia. Enter through the door on the front side of the school, facing Boston Avenue, roughly in the middle of the building. Limited parking is available in the drive in front of the school, and abundant parking is available in the large lot to the right of the school.

We do ask for $20 in annual membership dues. This money is used to fund band events and supplement other funds to purchase music, supplies, equipment, etc.

Attire for all indoor concerts is formal. Men wear black tuxedos or black suits with a black bow tie, black cummerbund or vest, black socks, black shoes, and a white shirt. Women wear long-sleeved, long black dresses or long-sleeved black blouses and long black skirts with black shoes and black hosiery. For outdoor concerts, the band wears the community band polo shirts (available for purchase at rehearsals), and khaki pants or knee-length shorts.
