The NEW Sound Beach Community Band, Inc.
(formerly known as the Sound Beach Volunteer Fire Department Band)

MARCHING, CONCERT, and HIGH-SOCIETY BAND

ABOUT THE BAND

Since 1955, The Sound Beach Volunteer Fire Department Band has been a summer tradition in Greenwich, providing marching music for members of The Sound Beach Volunteer Fire Department (www.sbvfd.com) at area Firemen's parades in Fairfield and Westchester Counties, and performing evening concerts at public parks all over town.  As one of the last "firehouse bands" in the state, after 52 years, the band was separated from the Sound Beach Volunteer Fire Department this year and incorporated as the Sound Beach Community Band, a 501-C(3) Not-For-Profit organization in April 2007.

As in the past, the new SBC Band also entertains throughout the year at other community events and venues such as the United Way Septemberfest and the Old Greenwich Elementary School Pumpkin Patch in October.  And of course, the band is always on hand to play when Santa returns to the SBVFD firehouse every year, in his vintage fire truck filled with toys for all good children!

Also affectionately known as the town’s own “Marching, Concert and High-Society Band,” the band’s repertoire includes pops and some classical pieces, as well as the more traditional and favorite marches.

Although the band has a strong core of professional and semi-professional musicians who volunteer their time … new members at any level are always welcome --- so dust off that flute you played in junior high and join the fun!
