WESTERLY BAND

About the Band

In its 166th year, the Westerly Band continues to provide southern New England with a variety of popular, classical, and ethnic music and, of course, marches. Being both a concert  wind ensemble and a marching band, the Westerly Band plays more than 20 "gigs"  a year, and with its library of over 1000 pieces, it provides a different program for every performance. If you would like more information about upcoming events, contact us to be put on our e-mailing list.

The National Game

The Sousa Band was also a baseball team that played against rival bands and local teams of the towns they visited. The Westerly Band had a member of the Sousa Band visit us the evening we played at Shelter Harbor ...
