The philosophy of the Clayton Community Band is to afford any individual regardless of age or income, who previously or currently plays a band instrument, and outlet to perform in rehearsal and public performance.

Preparation and presentation of concert band music is geared toward continuous education and enjoyment by the performers, while entertaining and educating the residents and guests of Clayton and surrounding communities through diversified programs of band literature. Working as a team to interpret and convey to an audience any select or particular selection of band music develops a serene sense of camaraderie. Great friendships are born through music, whether by working together as a team or by enjoying a live performance of musicians of various ages with diversified backgrounds performing for the love of music.

For the performers and audience, we feel that music heals the heart and soothes the soul.
