For 22 years, the Pawleys Island Concert Band has been the South Strand's premier community music ensemble, performing 23+ concerts annually for audiences throughout Horry and Georgetown County. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we bring professional-quality live music to the community free of charge while providing adult amateur musicians an outlet to continue their passion for making music.

We expect that band participants either have or plan to achieve a minimum HS level of playing ability. Some of our bandmates are professional musicians, music teachers, and/or college trained musicians; most aren’t. Most of the band are folks who played in high school or college and want to continue doing so. Some took a break of many decades before deciding to return to playing. Motivated high school aged students are welcome with explicit permission of a parent and their primary music teacher. For as long as we continue to enjoy the generosity of the community and funding of the SC Arts Council, the band charges no dues or fees to participate.

You will need to provide your instrument, accessories, and a folding music stand. We don’t audition, and we don’t assign part seats. Which part you play is up to what you’d like to play and discussion within the section.

We welcome players that happen to be on vacation and would like to sit in. Please send an email to Pawleysislandconcertband@gmail.com and let us know what instrument you play and when you'd like to attend!

If you’re interested in joining the band, give us a call, send an email, or just come by rehearsal.
