Summertime in the Smoky Mountains is always a very special time for those of us lucky enough to live here. This is where the mountains meet the sky. Our mountains are not only a physical challenge, they also represent a rejuvenation of positive attitudes…the ultimate attitude adjustment! Like a determined hiker to reach the summit, our “Summer Fun” and “More Summer Fun” concert program selections will touch on the beauty that surrounds us, overcoming challenges or being as free as the mountain air!

In the mood for a musical roller “ghoster” ride? Nothing but chills and thrills with our annual Frightacular concert.
We take you on a musical journey of terrifying tales and friendly fun with a haunting program spooked with fear and danger!
Enough musical drama for an evening full of the unexpected! Come in costume! You will have a Frightacular evening with a “Thriller” ending!
And don’t forget to bring Mummy and Deady!

Attention! Stand Tall! Stomach in! With our own brand of musical “spit-and-polish” – our annual Veterans Day concert salutes our men and women in uniform with stirring marches and much musical pomp.

Summertime along the Blue Ridge Mountains is always a very special time for those of us lucky enough to live here.  A great time for a relaxing outdoor concert along the shores of Lake Junaluska. Music from Broadway, blockbuster movies, along with stirring marches all combine to add some musical magic to the beautiful surroundings. Good music! Good people! Good vibes!

The Haywood Community Band pays tribute to American composers who have advanced the wind band tradition and continues to shape the country’s musical identity. These composers have greatly influenced the wind symphony repertoire along with the continuing evolution of the modern wind symphony. The musicians in tonight’s concert are grateful for the opportunities these individuals have made possible and we hope you enjoy their compositions created specifically for the American wind symphony.

We salute those that have shown true heroism in serving something bigger than oneself.  Our performance today features music that invokes the spirit of America through melodies and images that define our ever-enduring tradition and commitment to securing the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
