OUR HISTORY

The Pawleys Island Concert Band was formed in July 2004 following a short meeting of thirteen interested area musicians led by Bob and Bonnie Hawk with Chris Graham of Waccamaw High School hosting. Our first performance was in December 2004 with twenty-four musicians on stage and an audience of maybe 150. The present band roster exceeds sixty-seven active band participants presenting to audiences in the several-hundred range.

In recent years the band has increased the performance schedule to include not only a Spring Pops concert and Holiday Seasonal concert but also an annual Fourth of July celebration, regular visits to area senior's communities, and musical support of area civic events such as Memorial Day, Veterans Day, and the Friends of Atalaya Christmas Celebration at Huntington Beach State Park.
