You’re probably familiar with the music of “March King” John Philip Sousa, now join the Forest Hills Adult Community Band in paying homage to Sousa’s programming preferences as leader of the US Marine Band! In structuring his concerts, Sousa selected pieces that fit into certain categories–“Overture,” “March” (of course!), and so on–to build his vision of the ideal concert balance. Join the band for this beautiful bouquet of Sousa-inspired selections!

Be sure to come early for the pre-concert talk with director John Martin at 2:15! You won’t want to miss it!

Welcome Dr. John Martin!

The Board of Directors of the Forest Hills Adult Community Band would like to announce the hiring of Dr. John T. Martin as the new Director/Conductor of the FHACB!

Dr. Martin is an Associate Professor of Music at Grand Valley State University and has been the director of the GVSU athletic bands since 2009.

We feel very fortunate to have found someone as uniquely talented and enthusiastic as Dr. Martin to lead us into the future. His vision, both musically, and more specifically for our program has us excited about the things to come for the FHACB!

Come see for yourself in person when Dr. Martin steps on the podium for our first concert of the 2023 Fall season on Sunday, October 22nd!
