The band wishes to thank our loyal concert goers who followed our schedule starting with the May concert. In addition, we wish to thank the media for giving us space in their publications and broadcast time.
Band rehearsals are held at Grace In The Mountains Episcopal Church, 394 Haywood Street in Waynesville. All rehearsals will be held on Thursdays at 7:00 PM, and will last about one and one half hours. Anyone interested in joining the Haywood Community Band should call Rhonda Wilson Kram at 456-4880.
Donations of band instruments which are no longer needed at home, are accepted, refurbished, and loaned to local school band students for their use. The Community Band selects high school students from Tuscola High School, and Pisgah High School in the Spring for scholarships to attend summer music camp programs.
The Haywood Community Band is supported in part by a grassroots grant from the Haywood County Arts Council and the North Carolina Arts Council, a state agency.

L.I.N.K.S. - Lonely Instruments for Needy KidS
The Haywood Community Band sponsors the L.I.N.K.S. program. Students who cannot afford to purchase or rent an instrument can receive one of the instruments available for loan. School music staff and school guidance counselors approve applications. As long as a student participates successfully in the school band program he/she may continue to use the instrument free of charge. Students may also receive the instrument permanently if they have made satisfactory progress.
If you know of a child who may qualify, or if you have an instrument to donate, please contact program coordinator, Mary Thomas, at: musemarythomas@aol.com for more information.
