About the Band

The Vance-Granville Band meets every Monday night from 7–8:30 PM for rehearsal in the Civic Center Building (Bldg. 9) on VGCC’s Main Campus in Henderson.

The band plays formal concerts every year in May and December at McGregor Hall in downtown Henderson. Additionally, the band plays for VGCC graduation as well as various community events as requested. All performances of the VGCC band are free to the public.

The literature of the band program consists of traditional band music including marches, waltzes, Broadway medleys, classical transcriptions and original band works representing a variety of musical time periods.
