We are comprised of volunteer musicians led by Music Director, Jared Cassedy. Membership is open to all. Students at the middle school level need approval and support of their parents and music teacher after auditioning. We are committed to high quality performances for the enjoyment of our audiences. Members increase their enjoyment of music by honing their skills at rehearsals.

We rehearse weekly on Thursday evenings. We perform year-round, with more concerts in the May-September season. We have an executive board elected by the membership, and are supported by two co-managers. We are a non-profit organization, raising funds via donations and an annual fund-raiser concert. Members participate in fundraising by selling tickets and program book ads. We are very fortunate to have the support of local businesses.

We play about 15 concerts per year, with occasional extra events. Our standard concert attire is a Windham Community Band Shirt (to be purchased by each member) with kacki slacks, with formal concert attire being white dress shirt, black dress slacks and shoes, and bow tie (tie furnished by the Band). We publish a schedule and a calendar for members to use in planning their schedule.

It is the responsibility of each new member to provide information, including a "user name", and "password" to access the "Band Member Area". All current information, or changes to our schedule will be posted on the "Member's Page". Email Mike Carchia at mcarchia@comcast.net

Maintaining high rehearsal and concert attendance is critical to our success in playing the wide variety of music our audiences enjoy. We have section leaders (identified on your roster/calendar) and you are responsible to let them know about your rehearsal and concert attendance in advance, for our planning purposes.

We love what we do, and encourage you to make the most of membership in the Windham Community Band. Our relaxed yet challenging approach to musicianship is deliberate - we want you to enjoy learning and performing in such a diverse and talented group. Again, welcome to the Windham Community Band. Contact any member of the executive board, managers, or Jared any time you need our help.

Sincerely,

Mike Carchia,
General Manager
