About Us

The Easley Community Band began in 2014, as a revitalization of a previous civic band that had operated in Easley many years ago. In the years since, we “got the band back together” and we have grown to a 60-member-strong organization— a testament to the rich community of talented musicians in the area, and the simple joy that we share when we play together.

Our 2022-2023 Board of Officers:
