Southwestern PA Band Partners

Announcements

Welcome to Southwestern Pennsylvania Band Partners

We are a group of people who want to promote community music in the Southwestern region of Pennsylvania (Armstrong, Allegheny, Butler, Beaver, Fayette, Greene, Lawrence, Indiana, Washington, Westmoreland Counties). We wish to be a resource for the bands, musicians, and the general public alike.

To do this we will:

have a quarterly newsletter to highlight and promote community music in the region
maintain a combined calendar of concerts of the community bands
maintain this web site with links to the newsletter, calendar, band directory, and other useful links
be the facilitator for brainstorming ideas for these groups to work together in some way
moderate an electronic mailing list that shall be used for the following:

announce new issues of the newsletter as they are posted online
monthly reminders of upcoming concerts
bands looking for substitute musicians
discussion of ideas for groups to work together

We hope the list of things this organization can do will grow as individuals and groups have ideas. While this page may not be updated often - other pages will be. The newsletter page will be updated quarterly, while the calendar, list of bands, and links will be continuously updated as needed.
