Powers Music School is pleased to join with Belmont’s POMS (Parents of Music Students) organization to present the Belmont Community Band, a new ensemble that enables musicians of all abilities to experience the fun and camaraderie of playing music together.

This ensemble is all about sharing a love of music, challenging yourself in new ways, meeting new people, and having fun. Whether you are a capable musician looking for new opportunities to play locally, a new player just getting started, or a former high school or college musician who has missed the joy of band, the Belmont Community Band is for you!
