The Dexter Community Band is sponsored by the Cuthbert Foundation and promotes the music of Harold Josiah Crosby (1886-1920). It provides up to date versions of his music to showcase the Dexter native who personified the music of the early days of a patriotic nation and the region. The music is in the process of being engraved on the computer for restoration and preservation.
Today the Dexter Community Band plays for various events in Dexter and surrounding communities. Members of varying ages come from throughout the greater Dexter area. The repertoire of the Dexter Community Band is varied, something new, something old. The music library is growing, including simple, advanced, and adapted arrangements. Dexter Brass Ensemble
