About Us
The Westerly Band
westerlyband@yahoo.com
For over 160 years, the Westerly Band has been entertaining local and not so local audiences with its varied musical talents. As a rare adult marching and concert band composed of over 30 people ranging in age from teens to 90s, the Westerly Band marches at a variety of cultural and religious processions and festivals and civic parades. It also performs a number of yearly concerts and additional special ones. These concerts feature a wide selection of pieces from old time classics to current musical/movie themes to blues and jazz. And of course, marches. Several years ago, the Westerly Band performed for a concert to rededicate its renovated bandstand in Wilcox Park and was able to play some of the same music from the bandstand's original dedication and first concert in 1902. Our annual Children's concert in June is an favorite for all ages!
