From Instrument Petting Zoos to classroom demonstrations and side-by-side performances with student musicians, these events bring the joy of live music to schools and youth programs across the valley. Whether we’re helping a young flutist make their first sound or jamming with a high school band, our goal is simple: spark curiosity, build confidence, and pass on the love of music—one note at a time.
In 2012, the Jackson Hole Community Band continued its support of the Grand Teton Music Festival's children's concerts by providing hands-on instrument experiences before performances. Our volunteers once again staffed tables filled with band instruments, guiding curious kids (and a few brave adults) as they tried out everything from trombones to clarinets. It was another joyful year of sparking musical curiosity—complete with squeaky notes, big smiles, and the occasional surprise percussionist in the making.

In 2011 the Jackson Hole Community Band supported the Grand Teton Music Festivals children concerts through-out the year by providing band instruments prior to concerts for children to touch, play and ask questions about various instruments. Supported by band members, these volunteers manned tables of instruments and answered many questions from eager children young and old. A whole new group of kids got the opportunity to try out playing for the first time under our careful watch. We saw budding trumpet players, flute players and even a few oboists!
