The Wellesley Town Band was founded by Herb Glick, a Wellesley resident and percussionist in the band. From its humble beginnings, with just thirteen eager recruits gathering in fall 2013, the Wellesley Town Band has grown to nearly sixty musicians from Wellesley and nearby communities.
When Glick stepped down, the The Wellesley Town Band was led by Henry Platt, who has been a part of Wellesley’s music scene as an educator and musician for 40 years. Read more about the maestro here.
Platt retired in spring 2024, and as of June his replacement had not yet been announced.
Players of all ages (grade 8 up) are welcome, and no auditions are required. Rehearsals are held at Wellesley High School (50 Rice street, Wellesley, MA) on Mondays from 7pm-8:30pm, September through mid-June (excluding school holidays). For more information, contact info@wellesleytownband.org
The repertoire is traditional concert band fare: light classics, favorite show tunes, movie music, and stirring marches.
