Newton-Conover Community Band

The mission of the Newton-Conover Community Band is to assemble members of the community who play brass, woodwind, and percussion instruments to form a musical ensemble (band), to rehearse with this ensemble a selected program of band/wind music, and to perform that music in a public concert.

Membership in the Community Band is not restricted by age, race, color, economic status, religion, creed, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, or political beliefs or affiliations.  The band is open to anyone, from high school age players to senior citizens, that have experience on traditional concert band/jazz band instruments.

Even though performing a concert is the mission, meeting together and experiencing the joy of making music with others is our true goal.

The band was started in 2005 by Jim Stockner, then the band director at Newton-Conover High School.  Current conductors are Haskew Smith and Ted Neely.

N-CCB sponsors a  concert band and a jazz band each season, Fall (Sept-Nov) and Spring (Jan-April).

The Newton-Conover Communty Band is governed by a Board of Directors, elected from the membership, and is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization.
