A traditional community band with all instruments and ages
welcoming listeners and players from all around southeastern Vermont.

The Grafton Cornet Band needs a clarinet for its loaner instrument collection. Do you have an unloved clarinet in your closet? Your gift would be both welcome and tax deductible as a charitable donation to a 501(c)3 organization.

The Old Fire Station. The Grafton Band rehearses upstairs. The stairway is the leftmost door.Pre-season rehearsals are open to all--and a good way to blow out the cobwebs in your old high school instrument. Students are always welcome, too; a community band is for all ages. Rehearsals are upstairs at the Old Fire House (map), always on a Sunday, 2:00-4:00 with a refreshment break. Directors are Bruce Corwin and Sue Lemei.

 

The Grafton Cornet Band welcomes all to our series of free summer concerts and parades (see our schedule). We play all sorts of traditional band music as we have for 144 years. Our concerts are informal, so bring chairs or a blanket and maybe a picnic. On rainy days, we play in the beautiful White Church in Grafton. More information...
