The Newberg Community Band is made up of a wide variety of community members, aged 14 to 75, parents and children, husbands and wives, accountants, nurses, students, and more. We all enjoy making music, and that is the common drive that brings us together.

Since we began, we've had over 130 people play with the band at one time or another. We've tried to document everyone who has participated here. If you see an inaccuracy, please e-mail the webmaster.
