The Kirby Band,
of Nichols New York, is believed to be one
of the oldest continuously performing community bands in the nation. Formed in the early part
of the 19th century, the band has been performing every year since 1876.
Home base for The Kirby Band is the Old Asbury Church on West River Road in
Nichols.

here for a bit of history on the Church)
Members of the band are volunteers from the Northern Tier of
Pennsylvania and the Southern Tier of New York. Members' age groups vary
from high school to retirees. The music varies almost as greatly.
From Joplin to Sousa, from big bands to the big screen, from the early 1900's
through the new millennium, there is most certainly a niche for all music
enthusiasts.
The band meets weekly year round, but is most active between
the months of May and September, participating in parades and concerts alike.
The band has traveled to such local areas as Corning, Elmira, Binghamton,
Deposit, Owego, Watkins Glen, Montour Falls and Ithaca, as well as almost every
town in between. Use the link above to see the most up-to-date schedule of
events.
The band is always looking for new volunteers in all
instrument sections, as well as people who love to conduct. There are no
auditions, no membership requirements (except for participation), and no dues.
We play for the love of music. The band is eager to participate in parades,
festivals, musical workshops, and concerts.
