BARKER – The Barker Community Band continues its 42nd season entertaining the Barker/Somerset community as well as those of several surrounding areas of western New York.

Founded in 1984 by Barker Central School instrumental music teacher Amrom Chodos, and currently under the conductorship of Kevin Hauser, the band has steadily grown and currently is comprised of members from Barker and others from Niagara, Orleans, Erie and Monroe counties.

Always seeking new musicians of varying abilities with a love for music and a willingness to practice toward improvement, current members range from high school age to senior citizens.
