Welcome! 

The Hometown Band is a volunteer community concert band dedicated to providing educational and musical enrichment opportunities for amateur musicians throughout Kitsap County and surrounding communities. Our members represent a wide range of ages, backgrounds, experience levels, and abilities, united by a shared desire to learn, grow, and perform together.

Through weekly rehearsals and public performances, band members explore both traditional and contemporary symphonic band and wind ensemble repertoire, developing their musicianship while sharing the joy of music with the community. We perform a variety of concerts throughout the year, including Spring, Summer, Oktoberfest, and Holiday programs. To hear examples of our performances, visit the Hometown Band Music page.
