Vision Statement
Brunswick Bands Inc. exists in order to support and promote the participation in and enjoyment of quality instrumental music in Brunswick County.
Mission Statement
In order to realize the stated vision of Brunswick Bands Inc. more fully and consistently, we strive to:
The Music Student Assistant Program is sponsored and funded by the Bands. This program loans musical instruments to students throughout the county. These instruments have been donated to the band, and volunteers evaluate their status. If appropriate, the instruments are repaired at band expense. Please see our MSAP page for detailed information.
Several band members assist with the music programs at public middle and high schools in the county. This helps the students realize that music can be a life-long activity and encourages the students to participate with the bands even while they are students.
The band has created multiple $1,500 scholarships in memory of Frank Mahoney, a longtime member, Past President and one of the original founders of the Brunswick Big Band. The scholarship is awarded to a graduating Brunswick County wind or percussion musician who has been accepted to an accredited college, university or technical school and who has participated in their high school band or external community band program for a minimum of three years.
The band has a Music Student Assistance Program. The goal of this program is to provide an opportunity for all middle and high school students in Brunswick County to participate in music programs by loaning gently used instruments to students who might otherwise be unable to afford the expense of renting. Instrument donations are accepted by members of our community to aid this program.
