Join Us!

The Brighton Community Band is open to musicians of all skill levels. Adults of all ages and students grades 7-12 are welcome to join.

We rehearse at Brighton High School* in Rochester, New York on Tuesday evenings (7-8:30pm) in "seasons" -- Spring, Summer*, and Fall. Each season typically lasts 7-8 weeks and consists of approximately six rehearsals and one evening concert. In the summers*, we perform outdoors (weather permitting). In the spring and fall, we perform in the newly renovated Brighton High School Auditorium.

While the majority of our musicians tend to stick around and become "regulars," we ask that everyone re-register for each season so we can anticipate our exact instrumentation and plan accordingly. Musicians must attend at least four rehearsals to perform in a season's concert.

Repertoire ranges from the traditional canon to pops music to contemporary pieces. The level of difficulty of most of our pieces is around a NYSSMA level 4-5 (easy-to-medium High School level) . There is no participation fee and all concert band instruments are welcome.

*The summer season is held at Twelve Corners Middle School (TCMS). The summer concert is held on the TCMS athletic field (Winton Rd. side of the building); if weather is inclement, the concert is held in the TCMS Auditorium.
