Join the band

The Dutchess County-based Aerophone Band is for woodwind, brass and percussion players, both youth and adults, who want to enrich their playing experience by working with other musicians from throughout the mid-Hudson Valley. Students who are in seventh grade and above are welcome to join, but they must be participants in their school band program. Adults of any age are welcome -- and encouraged -- to join.

Rehearsals are held at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesdays at Roy C. Ketcham High School in Wappingers Falls. Please see the schedule below for more information.

If you are interested or would like more information, please e-mail Mr. Rich Holod
