Henry County Community Band

It is with deepest sympathy and a heavy heart that the former Henry County Community Band announces the passing of director Rachel Eldridge. Rachel's passion for playing and sharing music with the community was undeniable. She will be greatly missed by her family, friends, and fellow musicians.

Unfortunately, the band has dissolved. If you have an interest in either listening to or participating in a fine community band, please consider either the Lapel Band or America's Hometown Band. Both have pages that will fill you in. Thank you for your support of the Henry County Community Band over the years.

If you've ever considered dusting off that old instrument, want a place to practice a secondary instrument, or just need a musical outlet, join us on Tuesdays at Holy Trinity for rehearsals.

HCCB welcomes anyone and everyone to join our little family.

HCCB presents...

Rehearsals for our Fall concert begin tonight! We rehearse every Tuesday at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church beginning at 7pm and ending at 8:30. No auditions are required to join, so come and have fun making music with us.
The concert will be on September 24th beginning at 2:30 at the Henry County Library. The theme is "Made in America". A wide variety of music will be performed...so much fun.

On April 9th beginning at 2:30 pm at the HC/NC Library, the Henry County Community Band will present its Ninth Annual Spring Concert, “A Celebration of Love”. The awakening of the earth in Spring brings thoughts of love. Music like “The King and I”, “You’ll Never Walk Alone”, featuring vocalist Sydney Fleming, and “Moon River”, featuring soloist Richard Hawk on clarinet, are only a few of the numbers to be played. We are pleased to highlight the New Castle High School Saxophone Octet playing their award-winning piece, “Witch Hunt”. Also, New Castle High School junior, Ben Smith, will conduct the band playing “What the World Needs Now” and “Sugar, Sugar”. Admission is always free and open to all. For more information, contact Rachel Eldridge, musical director, at [email protected].

Playing in a Christmas concert has always been what really gets me in the spirit of the season. Share with us your favorite holiday tradition or Christmas memories.

HCCB is always looking for new members to round out our group but we could certainly use some help in our percussion section for our Christmas concert! Contact us for more information.

Our percussion section could use a little help for our Christmas concert on December 11th. If you or someone you know are interested please reach out to us for more details. This is a great opportunity for students or anyone interested in dusting off their musical skills.

Thanks so much to everyone who joined us Sunday at our On Stage! concert. We have received some wonderful feedback from our audience and are hearing it was our best concert ever.

Be sure to mark your calendars for our Christmas concert on December 11th. Let HCCB kick off your holiday season and put you in the spirit!
