Title
Jeannette Community Band
Description
The Jeannette Community Band was originally organized as the Jeannette Centennial Band in May of 1988 for the purpose of performing for the city of Jeannette's Centennial Celebration. Other organizations associated with Jeannette's 100th birthday have been dissolved, however, the band, backed by tremendous community support, continues to rehearse and perform. We perform concerts throughout the summer in the City of Jeannette and its surrounding communities. During its fifteen years of existence, The Jeannette Community Band has performed well over 100 concerts in the area. Typically attendance at our concerts is 300 - 400 people.
The Jeannette Centennial Band, now appropriately renamed The Jeannette Community Band is currently comprised of over 60 musicians from Jeannette and surrounding communities ranging in age of 13 to 85 years old. Our members consist of high school and college students, professionals, ex-professionals, band directors, and other who enjoy playing a musical instrument and like to socialize with people who share a common interest. We play music that consists of a mix of show tunes, marches, big band and light classical. We also perform an annual Christmas concert. While many community bands have only one director, we are fortunate to have three.
The Jeannette Community Band is located in Jeannette, Pennsylvania, a community about 25 miles east of Pittsburgh, in Westmoreland County. Our practices and three of our concerts are held at the Jeannette American Legion, 109 S. 5th Street, Jeannette, PA. We rehearse every Tuesday evening from 7:30-9:15 p.m. except for a Winter break beginning after our Christmas Concert through early March. We also take a brief Summer break after our last August Concert until the first Tuesday after Labor Day.
