About Us:

The Northport Community Band, under the direction of Musical Director Donald M. Sherman, offers free concerts to Long Island music lovers at the Robert W. Krueger Bandstand overlooking beautiful Northport Harbor on five consecutive summer Thursday evenings.

Truly a community effort, the band is comprised of past and present area students, teachers, retirees, merchants, doctors, lawyers, professional musicians and music educators who volunteer their time to provide area residents with a relaxing and enjoyable way of passing balmy summer evenings in historic and picturesque Northport Village.

Each season features a theme that carries over from week to week and includes a blend of overtures, marches, light classics and popular favorites. In addition to weekly features such as the Northport Chorale and various guest conductors and soloists, highlights frequently include the Jack Daniels Original Silver Cornet Band playing popular arrangements of old favorites. The group's signature piece is the "1812 Overture" traditionally played at the final concert, which features "dueling cannons."
