​About Us

The Foothills Community Band, founded by Janice Wypasek in 2002, has been performing in McDowell County for 20 years. Our musicians are volunteers from McDowell and surrounding counties. We subsist solely on donations from people like you!  We partnered with MACA in 2022 and look forward to doing our part in continuing the growth and well-being of our community through the arts.   We always have room for more! We welcome all ages and skill levels, so if you play an instrument, even if it’s been a while, we’d love to hear from you!  [email protected]
