About the bandThe band, under the joint sponsorship of the Town of Colonie, New York and the South Colonie Central School District, was formed by musicians in the area dedicated to the promotion of the best in music for the concert band. Under the direction of Henry Carr, a noted area conductor and musician, the band plays four free concerts a year. See our schedule.In part, the band was formed as a living tribute to honor the memory of South Colonie Music Department chairpersons and faculty members. In addition, there has been a feeling among area musicians that a high-quality community concert band, similar to the outstanding "municipal bands" which now exist in Chicago, Atlanta and San Francisco, would help fill the void many feel exists in the area by providing musicians a challenging and fulfilling group with which to perform. Members of the band include music teachers (active and retired), professional musicians, retirees from various military bands, and outstanding area musicians. A special thank you goes to the South Colonie Friends of Music for their generous help and on-going support of our concerts. Sit back and enjoy your tour through our web site! In memorandum
