Our Music Directors

The Jackson Hole Community Band owes much of its success to the dedication and vision of its Music Directors. These individuals have guided the Ensemble through performances, festivals, and community events, inspiring musicians of all levels. This page honors both our current leadership and those who’ve led us in years past.

Our Assistant Music Director

Cheryl
DeLong

Hello! I’m Cheryl, the assistant conductor of the Jackson Hole Community Band, a role I’ve been honored to hold since January 2025. Before joining the band, I spent 32 fulfilling years as a band teacher in Michigan, sharing my love of music with students of all ages.

I’ve called the Jackson Hole area home for the past three years and enjoy everything the outdoors has to offer — from hiking and camping in the summer to cross-country skiing in the winter. I also play the Euphonium with the Community Band and truly value staying active in our vibrant local music scene.

I’m excited to continue making music and memories with this incredible community!
