In its 11th season, The River's Edge Community Band has two major concerts throughout the year with the first being held on December 15th at Hudson High School and the second in June at Wood Park as part of the Arts In the Park series.   Both of these concerts are joint projects with the River's Edge Chorale and River's Edge Youth Chorus and is a welcomed community tradition.  All three groups are programs of the Arts Alliance, a non-profit arts organization cultivating community arts and arts education.

Families find that participating in this community musical group can be a great way to enjoy quality time with family members.  We invite you to enjoy the camaraderie and organization of this fine community band.  It is an opportunity to rehearse with other musicians who live nearby and love to perform a variety of music, both challenging and enjoyable.
