The St. Johnsbury Band calendar for 2018 is shown below. All rehearsals and scheduled performances are listed. The Band rehearses in the community room of the Caledonia Courthouse (1126 Main Street, St. Johnsbury) on Monday evenings at 7:00pm (6:30pm during the summer concert season). The entrance is off the parking lot on the east side of the courthouse (around the building corner from the Sheriff's office entrance).
