Interested in playing with the Hollis Town Band?
We'd be delighted to have you join us. All that we ask is that you have a band instrument, be able to play sixteenth-notes and read music. The skill level of band members ranges from novice to semi-professional, but what we're most interested in is having fun making music. We rehearse most Wednesday evenings ( Wednesday after Labor Day through the third Wednesday in June ) from 7:30 to 9:00PM at the Hollis Brookline Middle School, 25 Main Street, Hollis, NH.
The band has performances throughout the year from
September through July but we take August off completely.

About The Band
The Hollis Town Band was founded in 1943 to provide Hollis, New Hampshire area students with an opportunity to play in a band. Initially called the Hollis Church School Band, the band gained its current name in 1965.
Over the years, the band has provided area students and adults with an opportunity to grow together musically while performing a wide variety of music. Currently, the band includes 80 members from Hollis and many surrounding towns in southern New Hampshire and northern Massachusetts.
In addition to providing the opportunity for local students to perform in a band, the Hollis Town Band also sponsors the Schellenberg-Twichell-Jeynes Memorial Scholarship, given in the spring to deserving band members entering college or attending music camps. The scholarship is named in memory of longtime members and supporters of the band.
