Welcome To Our Website!
The Seneca Falls Community Band is a not-for-profit corporation that supports and leads a volunteer musical ensemble that plays an active role in promoting musical performance, educating the public by providing all kinds of community band music, and performing free summer concerts. We perform concerts on Friday nights, late June through mid August, in Peoples Park, Seneca Falls NY, just south of the Gould Hotel and the Women’s Rights National Historic Park.
Our History
Seneca Falls Community Band is operated exclusively for educational and charitable purposes within the meaning of Section 501 (c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code, and is also registered with the NYS Office of Charitable Organizations.
Upcoming Events
Our concerts take place on Friday nights in Peoples’ Park at 7:00 pm. In our upcoming 2023 season, we will hold concerts outdoors unless weather is inclement, and in the Seneca Falls Community Center Gym if space and staffing allow on that particular Friday evening. Please check our FaceBook page for last minute venue changes or cancellations.
The SFCB performs a wide variety of musical literature written for concert band, including marches, Broadway music, popular, jazz, patriotic standards, and commissioned pieces.
