The Assembly Band
Carrying on a 25 year tradition, the Harwood Assembly Band sets the gold standard for the modern high school band. Representing the best youth performers in the Mad River Valley, the band has shared the stage with artists such as Madalia and Russ Lawton and Ray Paczkowski of TAB. Showcasing amazing lead and background vocals combined with tight horns and a smokin’ rhythm section, the band performs a wide range of music from the Tedeschi Trucks Band to modern funk-pop groups like Lawerence and Couch.
The Harwood Assembly band inspires aspiring performers, giving upcoming high school musicians something to look forward to. Band members have gone on to become music students at well-known universities, solo recording artists in Los Angeles, and prominent members of well-known bands.
