About Us

The Lehi Silver Band offers adults (and advanced youth) an opportunity to enjoy, grow and share their musical talents in a low-pressure environment. For many folks, it’s a way to return to making music after months, years, or even decades.

How We’re Different

We value fun over polish. We want to make high quality music, but the end goal is enjoyment, not perfection.

What sets the Lehi Silver Band apart:

Low barrier to entry – There are no fees to participate and no auditions for most ensembles. We expect at least a high school level of musical ability, but YOU decide if the band is a good fit for you, not the other way around.
Music should be fun – Rehearsals are structured, but the environment is supportive, human, and enjoyable.
Flexible membership options – Members can join only the Concert Band, or join additional groups—whatever fits their abilities, interests, and schedules. See Ensembles for more details.

Organization and Funding

The Lehi Silver Band operates under a 501(c)(3) nonprofit called the Lehi Area Music Association. Rather than collect membership fees, we get our funding from Lehi PARC Tax grants, business donations, and individuals in the community. This funding allows us to purchase music, instruments, and other materials, as well as rent rehearsal and performance venues.

Leadership

The Lehi Silver Band is led by volunteers drawn from the band membership. They coordinate all administrative aspects of the band and Association, including funding, scheduling, advertising, maintaining our online presence, and (of course) rehearsals and performances. In all of this, they aim to create a welcoming, well-organized, and fun musical experience for band members and audiences.
