From
Sagamore Beach to Wellfleet, these men and women devote their time and talent from the first rehearsal to the last concert of the season. They range in age from high school students to well past 80 years young!
It is a volunteer organization and none of the members are paid, but every year the band is treated to the Annual Chatham Band Banquet around Labor Day Week. Every Monday night from mid-January to late June, the members gather at Chatham High School’s Music Room and practice from 7 PM to 9 PM (except on Mondays when the school is closed).
A “Grand Time” is had by all as the band practices its ‘tried and true’ songs as well as new pieces of music that are introduced into the band’s repertoire every season.
For the Summer of 2011, our new pieces include:
A Tribute to Journey - Two of this rock band’s greatest hits: Open Arms and Don't Stop Believin' featured in the hit television series "Glee."
Tiptoe Through the Tubas - Swing, Latin and March versions of this familiar song featuring our terrific Tuba section.
Hawaii Five-0 Theme - This timeless television classic is back in action and always a crowd pleaser.
At a Dixieland Jazz Funeral - This fun song features a Dixieland section playing with the entire band.
We are a merry band of performers, lead by Bandmaster Kenneth Eldredge. The President of the Chatham Band is Kevin Eldredge. The Band Manager is George W. Goodspeed, Jr. and the Librarian is Tom Jahnke.

Join the Chatham Band. The Chatham Band is always looking for New Musicians! We are a friendly, relaxed group of community musicians who love to practice our craft in a no-pressure environment. We are not perfect, just a band of modern musical minstrels striving to make music and have some fun while we are doing it! We encourage you to come and sit in on a few rehearsals and give it a try.
There aren’t any rules or regulations to be a member. You don’t have to be at every rehearsal. We ask that you come to as many as you can, that you try your best and be available for the Friday Night Concerts in Chatham in the summer.
If you are interested in playing with us or giving it a try, please contact Chatham Band Manager:
George W. Goodspeed, Jr. at Chatham Band, P.O. Box 14, Chatham, MA 02633 or feel free to call him on his cell phone at 508-364-1210. He’s a great guy to talk to.
