Virtual Rehearsal Folders
Once you’ve attended your first rehearsal, you’ll get login access to your virtual folder—just make sure you’ve completed the New Member Form. It’s at the bottom of every page on the site or available at rehearsal from any officer.
Your folder includes:
- Current rehearsal music
- Listening samples
- Rehearsal schedule
- Event details
Why do we use them?
Music is expensive. We’ve made a big investment in professional folders and scores—some rented, some rare, and some irreplaceable. Originals stay in-house, and virtual access helps protect them.
Folders are handed out at rehearsal and match the online content. A login is required for virtual access.

We aim for a unified look and appreciate your effort. Please check the event logistics for full details, as each event may have specific requirements.
- Formal:
- Men: Black suit/tux, bow tie

- Halloween: Family-friendly costume or JHCB shirt + jeans

About Our Music Library
Our band has built an impressive collection of music over the years—from classic concert band staples to lesser-known gems. Whether you’re curious about what we’ve played or looking for new ideas, our Music Library Database is open for browsing.
What You’ll Find
You’ll find titles the band currently owns or has performed in past seasons. The database is updated regularly and includes a wide range of styles, composers, and difficulty levels. It’s a great way to get a feel for the music we enjoy—and the kinds of concerts we create.
Click the Music Library link in the menu to start exploring.
Librarian
Member-Only Tools
- Mark Favorites: While browsing the library, mark pieces you love. These favorites help guide future programming decisions.
- Add to the Wish List: Know of a piece we don’t own but should? Add it to the Wish List so it can be considered for purchase.
- Rate Performed Music: After concerts, once folders are returned, you’ll have the chance to rate each piece we played. Your feedback helps us fine-tune our Repertoire to better fit our band’s interests and strengths.
Why It Matters
The more members interact with the library, the more responsive our programming becomes. Your feedback shapes our sound, our Repertoire, and the kind of band we continue to grow into.
Scholarship
The Jackson Hole Community Band annually offers scholarships of up to $1,000 to graduating high school seniors who regularly attend rehearsals and performances. Eligible students support the band’s mission of promoting traditional concert band Repertoire.
Scholarship Contact office@jhcband.org
College Credit
College credit may be obtained by registering for the Jackson Hole Community Band through Central Wyoming College (CWC). This “course” is offered both fall and spring semesters each year. This is a great way for high school and college students to earn extra credits towards college. Also, college graduates may earn additional continuing education credits. For further information, contact the CWC Teton Campus at 307-733-7425. Normal office hours are 10am – 5pm.
Our Equipment
From batons to bass drums, our band’s gear represents a significant investment in keeping the music alive. Our collection includes everything from music stands and mallets to Timpani and xylophones—essential tools that support rehearsals and performances throughout the year.
Because of the cost and importance of these items, equipment is not available for general loan.
Under no circumstances will Band equipment be loaned to outside groups without prior approval from our Equipment Manager and in accordance with our Equipment Policy.
Requests from pre-approved community groups must be submitted in a timely email and include a clear chain of:
— Initial request
— Formal approval
— Confirmation of equipment return
Requests will be accepted by email only. equipmentmanager@jhcband.org
Let’s keep our tools in tune and ready for the next performance!
