Organization Description

This group is for any adult who wants to play or support a Community Band in Lynchburg, VA. High School students in 11th or 12 grade may join the band with the recommendation of their band teacher and the approval of the Conductor/Artistic Director.

There is an 80% rehearsal attendance requirement to perform in the concert unless prior excuse is requested from our Conductor/Artistic Director. Excuses for illness will also be considered, however, it is unlikely more than three missed rehearsals will be excused.

If you are interested in playing, please send your name, phone number, email and instrument(s) to admin@lynchburgpops.org. If you are interested in supporting us financially, the form for doing that can be found on this site.
