We are a group of dedicated amateur musicians who welcome newcomers to play with us. We invite you to rekindle your musical past. Join us in providing the gift of live musical entertainment to our community. We rehearse most Tuesday evenings 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM at the Hanover Arts and Activities Center, located at 500 S Center Street, in the heart of Ashland. We perform 12-15 concerts throughout the year. Musicians of all ages are welcome to join the band. Auditions are not required, but musicians must be able to read music at minimum difficulty level of grade III or better.
Notoriety…
In 2007, the band received the Hanover County Commitment to Community Award. This honor was first awarded in 1999 and then again to HCB in 2007. It is now awarded annually as an encouragement to those who improve our county’s quality of life through volunteerism. On May 6, 2014 we were honored by Hanover County for the band’s 25 years of volunteer service to the community, On May 13, 2015 HCB received a citation from the Board of Supervisors presented by the Honorable Canova Peterson on behalf of the Board honoring the band’s 25 years of service.
Scrapbooks…
We have produced scrapbooks for all of our years of existence. They were donated to the Virginia Museum of History and Culture in Richmond for their research archives during the band’s 25th anniversary year, 2014.
