The Charleston Community Band
JOIN US
The Charleston Community Band, now in it's 32nd year of operation, is an entirely non-profit civic organization serving the Trident area. It provides an opportunity for adults to perform concert band music after completing their school years.
We are conducted by Mr. Todd Jenkins. Our assistant conductor is Susan DuPuis.
Membership in the Charleston Community Band is open to proficient brass, woodwind and precussion players beyond high school, and under our mentorship program, to younger musicians.
The band is composed of roughly 75 players from all walks of life who live and work in the Tri-County area (Charleston, Berkeley, Dorchester counties), We have a number of part time professional musicians, but most of our members could best be described as dedicated amateurs who enjoy playing good music.
The band plays, on average, fifteen concerts annually for varied audiences and community occasions. Because all concerts are free to the public, we depend on honoria and donations to cover basic expenses.
If you would like to join us, we meet on the campus of THE CITADEL at the DAY band room every Tuesday night at 7:15pm. Our rehearsals last approximately two hours. Our performance and rehearsal season roughly begins the second week of March and continues on through Christmas. We then take a short break.
