The Jackson Hole Community Band is led by a dedicated Board of Directors made up of active members of the band. These volunteers help guide the organization, support its mission, and ensure the music keeps playing year after year.
The board meets monthly, and officers are chosen by fellow band members each fall during a rehearsal. Since all board members are also musicians in the band, decisions are made with the entire Ensemble in mind—from the podium to the back row of the Percussion section.

Event Photographer
One area where we especially need a helping hand is event photography. Since musicians can’t capture the magic while performing, we rely on fans, family members, and friends to snap photos and record memories that help us share our story with the community.
Did you get a good photo? Tag us on social media @JHCBand or email office@jhcband.org to share your shots with us. Whether you’re up for snapping a single photo or capturing moments throughout the season, we’d welcome you as a behind-the-scenes contributor.
