The Williamsport Community Band is excited to bring back the Williamsport Community Jazz Band. Directed by Bryan Detrow, they are bringing a classic, big band style swing to the stage once again. Featuring members of the Community Band alongside other local talents, the Jazz Band will be playing standards from the likes of Count Basie, Glenn Miller, Buddy Rich, and Sammy Nestico.
The Jazz Band is currently booked performing for several events. We are performing for a summer concert series at Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church, the Williamsport Canal Days Festival, and others. As a non-profit organization with volunteer musicians, ask how we can support your church or non-profit to bring music to your community.
Bryan Detrow has served as the director of the Jazz Band since fall of 2024. Bryan was born and raised in Washington County and joined the Community band when he was in 6th grade. A 2018 graduate of Williamsport High School, Bryan attended West Virginia University, earning a degree in Music Industry in 2021 while playing in the Jazz studio and big band. Most recently, Bryan completed his Masters of Business Administration from Louisiana State University Shreveport in September of 2024.
