The ensembles are directed by Michael Pavlik, Director of Bands at York High School, and William Riddle, Performing Arts Director, York High School (retired).

“The thing I like best about Community Band is that it’s for ages 12 and up, so sometimes we have two or more players from the same family,” says Pavlik, who has directed Community Bands in Elmhurst with Riddle for the past 13 years. “It’s fun to see young people playing alongside their parent or even a grandparent,” he says. “Music finds a way to bring people together.”

Registration fee for Community Summer Band is $60. There is no additional fee for Jazz Band.
