Bio

The Jackson Hole Community band is a 30-piece ensemble founded in 1989. We rehearse nearly year-around to provide free entertainment – from old favorites by Duke Ellington, to toe tapping marches by Sousa, to classics by Mussorgsky, at many community events, public concerts, and parades. Our members, all volunteers, hail from backgrounds as diverse as engineering, software, medicine, law, real estate, and the clergy and range in age from early-teens to the eighties. We have no skill level requirement or auditions, but prefer people who have played at least the junior high skill level. Most members have had a 15- to 20- year break before joining. It’s never too late to join! To supply musical accompaniment to special events for the benefit of both the musicians and the audience.

Spring Into Melody: Join The Jackson Hole Community Band For An Unforgettable Concert

Join the Jackson Hole Community Band for an Unforgettable Concert.

As the days grow longer and the gentle breezes of spring begin to whisper through the majestic landscapes of Jackson, Wyoming, the Jackson Hole Community Band is thrilled to extend a warm invitation to our cherished community and visiting guests. Mark your calendars for an afternoon of enchanting melodies and spirited compositions as we present our Spring Concert. This musical extravaganza is set to take place on Sunday, April 28, at 4 pm at the prestigious Center for the Arts Theater, located at 265 S Cache St, Jackson.

Our upcoming concert promises an eclectic mix of pieces that are sure to captivate and entertain. From the industrial rhythms of John Mackey‘s Foundry to the serene and reflective tones of Fantasy on a Japanese Folk Song by Samuel R. Hazo, our program is designed to showcase the versatility and talent of our musicians. Audiences will be thrilled by the explosive energy of Frank Ticheli‘s Nitro, and our tribute to the late Peter Schickele will bring smiles with the whimsical Six Contrary Dances by P.D.Q. Bach.

The concert will also feature a suite from the groundbreaking musical Hamilton by Lin-Manuel Miranda, arranged by Jerry Brubaker, offering a vibrant homage to the revolutionary spirit. Robert Sheldon‘s Chanteys will weave a nautical tale through melody, while Hope Springs Eternal by Robert Buckley promises to be an uplifting ode to the resilience of the human spirit. And for a touch of theatrical flair, Eric Whitacre’s Godzilla Eats Las Vegas will end the concert on a note of high-spirited fun and imagination.

We invite everyone in the community and visitors to Jackson to join us for this special afternoon. Whether you’re a lifelong lover of concert band music or looking for a delightful new experience, there’s something in our Spring Concert for you. Let’s celebrate the season of renewal with music that inspires, entertains, and brings us together.

Live Stream Available: Unable to attend in person? No problem! We’re excited to announce that the Spring Concert will be live streamed for global audiences. Whether you’re in Jackson or halfway across the world, you can tune in to our live stream and experience the magic of our musical extravaganza in real-time. Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of the excitement, no matter where you are! Visit our website for live stream details and instructions on how to join the virtual audience.

Old Bills Fun Run 2021

One of the many fun pieces we have been rehearsing for Old Bills 2021

Keep the music alive!

With more than 30 years of community concerts and activities, the JHCB is stronger than ever sporting wonderful plans for an ever-adapting 2021-2022 season. The Band is comprised of musicians of all ages and backgrounds who are drawn together by our love of music and a commitment to enhancing Jackson Hole’s artistic and cultural environment.

During the shutdown, we continued to play individually and record holiday favorites shared virtually to the delight of our followers and the public. Your contributions have allowed us to purchase recording mixing software and hardware to make this happen, as well as aid in the purchase of protective music gear and the leasing of a larger rehearsal venue for safely resumed rehearsals in May. We continue to rehearse and practice and sustain our tradition of contributing family friendly entertainment throughout the year – ever adapting to to meet the times.

We hope you’ll consider enhancing the financial health of our organization through Old Bill’s Fun Run.
