Who We Are
We are the premiere community band in the Idaho Falls community dedicated to inclusion, positivity, and service.
The East Idaho Community Band is committed to fostering an inclusive, welcoming environment where individuals of all backgrounds, ages, and skill levels can come together to share the joy of music. We strive to create a positive and supportive space that encourages personal growth, artistic expression, and collaboration. Through the power of music, we aim to strengthen community bonds, celebrate diversity, and inspire a sense of unity and belonging for all members and our audience alike.
Our Vision
Our vision is to cultivate a vibrant, inclusive musical community where members are empowered to grow both as musicians and as individuals. We envision a space where people of all skill levels come together to explore their musical potential, build confidence, and foster personal development. By embracing diversity and nurturing positivity, we aspire to create an environment that encourages collaboration, celebrates creativity, and fosters a lifelong love of music. Through this shared journey, we aim to uplift one another, enrich our community, and inspire the world around us.
“In this community band, the joy of our music making is coupled with the joy of belonging. Together, we create something greater than ourselves.”
