About Us

The Easley Community Band strives to provide a community-oriented musical ensemble and share the our love of music with the Easley area. At our core, the Easley Community Band is:

• Community -  We strive to be an integral part of the Easley and its surrounding area, to provide live and culturally relevant band music played by and for members of our community.
•  Artistry - We strive to be an ensemble of artists who play music and participate in an aesthetic experience that brings joy, not only to the players, but to our audience as well. Our mission is to make the community more joyful, one note at a time! 
• Social -  We are musicians who enjoy making music together. Our top priority is to keep the joy in making music both in rehearsals and in performances. Casually dubbed "The Happiest Band in the Upstate," the band will on occasion get together just to share each other’s company and to be friends. Join us!
