New Members Welcomed for Winter Rehearsals
The Chatfield Brass (and woodwind) Band warmly invites new instrumentalists to join as they begin their winter rehearsal season. Rehearsals begin on January 22nd and are held Thursday evenings at 7:00 p.m. in the Chatfield Elementary School band room. Prospective members are welcome to visit and join at any time, regardless of experience level.
A Supportive Environment for All Instrumentalists
Musicians who have not played since their high school or college days will find an understanding community among fellow band members, many of whom have experienced the same “lip-building” journey when rejoining a band. The group is a traditional concert band, including woodwinds, brass, and percussion, and is led by director Carmen Narveson. For more information and updates, visit the band’s website at https://chatfieldband.org.
Enjoy a Fun, Stress-Free Musical Experience
Joining the Chatfield Brass Band means becoming part of a diverse group of musicians of all ages and backgrounds who share a passion for music and for playing in a high-quality, active ensemble. The band provides a relaxed, enjoyable environment for all its members.
Annual Performances and Community Involvement
The band’s annual schedule includes a Holiday Concert in December, a series of “Concerts in the Park” during the summer, and participation in parades and concerts in neighboring communities. With a proud 55-year history, the Chatfield Brass Band is well-known throughout the state, plays an active role in the local community, and enjoys the support of city residents. The band operates as a non-profit corporation and is also responsible for running the renowned Chatfield Music Lending Library.
