About The Band

The Brevard Community Band is a summer band composed of 85+ volunteer musicians (professional and amateurs) ages 16-80+ from Brevard and surrounding areas.  The band is under the direction of Jamie Hafner, Director Emeritus of Education of the Brevard Music Center.  The purpose of the band is to promote band music and provide an outlet for instrumentalists to express their musical talents.  The band is also a philanthropic organization by providing music scholarships to local students and grants to schools to promote music education. 

We are not the ordinary community band.  We play very challenging band literature. The band has a high percentage of professional musicians including 17 retired band directors, four music professors, and a world famous composer.  Our conductor is highly renowned for his conducting and is one of the top tuba players in the country.
