The Tri-State Community Band serves a threefold purpose. The band provides an opportunity for local musicians to perform quality musical literature. Our membership includes students and adults from several nearby counties. It serves as an educational resource for area schools and presents several free concerts every year for the residents of Young Harris and surrounding areas.
Young Harris College strongly encourages that all individuals wear masks indoors while in public and sit less than six feet from others.
