About the band
The Grand Ledge Community Band was formed in January 2009 and has been an excellent outlet for musicians of all ages & abilities to perform in various concert band settings.
Traditionally the band will perform 5 concerts each year, as well as an optional parade marching opportunity. Rehearsals are Wednesdays from 7-9pm at Beagle Middle School during the public school year.
Our band is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit with a stated goal of raising funds for local charities and community projects. Throughout our lifetime we've been able to give over $25k to our community through our concerts.
