The Allegany Alumni & Friends Band (AAFB) is a community concert band consisting of volunteer musicians from western New York and northwestern Pennsylvania. When originally formed in June 2000, the band was comprised entirely of alumni from Allegany Central School. Over the years, though, the band has grown to include many local friends who also share a passion for music.
AAFB plays year-round, but is most busy during the summer months, entertaining audiences at local parks, festivals, parades, and charity events. At each concert, the band plays a combination of traditional marches, circus marches, patriotic music, novelty pieces, and a variety of concert band selections.

On May 21, 2019, the Allegany Alumni & Friends Band was inducted to the Allegany-Limestone Music & Performing Arts WALL OF FAME. Our nomination was made based on a number of factors, including promoting a love of music, and contributions made within our community.
It is a great honor to be recognized for providing an opportunity for musicians to come together to create music, enriching the community through our performances, and promoting the appreciation of music for all ages. |
