Winston-Salem Community Band Fans

Winston-Salem Community Band Fans A concert band made up entirely of community members of all ages and from all walks of life. Several free concerts occur throughout the year.

Originally formed by Robert Clark in 1977, James Daugherty is now the conductor. More info at wsband.org The Winston-Salem Community Band was organized in March 1977 by Robert Clark in order to provide amateur and semi-professional musicians an opportunity to continue using skills developed while playing in high school and college bands. Members of this ensemble are as varied as the music it perfo

rms. Entrance into the band is not based on audition but primarily on interest and dedication. Rehearsals are on Mondays, 7- 8:30 pm, at Fries Memorial Moravian Church, 251 Hawthorne Rd. NW in Winston-Salem. The repertoire is varied, featuring currently popular tunes, music from Broadway musicals, novelties, orchestral transcriptions, marches and fine literature written for the concert band. The band is conducted by James Daugherty. Several concerts are performed each year. Upcoming concerts are:

Sunday, October 19, 5:00 pm, in the Miller Park Amphitheater (or, if bad weather threatens, indoors at Ardmore Baptist's Brown Auditorium)

Sunday, December 7, 3:00 pm, indoors at Fries Memorial Moravian Church

All concerts are free and open to the public! To make our resident lawyer happy, here’s a disclaimer:

Though a bit warm, it was a lovely day for the first outdoor concert of the year! The band sounded fantastic and attracted the attention of many park goers. There was a great audience, but as you can see, there's plenty of room for more people. So bring a friend to the next outdoor concert on Sunday, July 12 at 6:30 pm in the Miller Park Amphitheater!

love does not
delight in evil-
but rejoices
with the truth
it will always
protect
trust
hope
and persevere
for you-
love never fails.

The effect of love on humanity is abundant and I think we forget that from time to time. Regardless of race, gender, religion, or indifference, we are all united by a common thread: passion and love.
Centered around the warmth that love brings, Halcyon Hearts takes us on an unexpected journey to find love. While this love may result to be romantic for some, to me is about the moment someone finds their passion. Using colors, natural energy, and passion, I created a sound of ambition for the ensemble.
I would like to dedicate this piece to those who love all of mankind- no matter the negativity around you. Let love be love and always choose it- when you do, the halcyon days will come.

~ Notes on "Halcyon Hearts," composed by Katahj Copely. The Winston-Salem Community Band performed it yesterday. After conductor James Daugherty read the above notes, I clapped lightly but wanted to jump to my feet and scream, "YES!" I waited until the band finished, though.

Thank goodness for artists.

The musicians in this band are volunteers from the community. Some are students, some are teachers, some are lawyers, some are retirees. But all are united by a common love for music. They are heroes.
