Pagosa Springs Instrumental Music Society

The PSIMS motto is “Music for Life”. We exist to develop musical ability and raise awareness of the importance of instrumental music to people of all ages. We celebrate the joy of music through teaching and performance opportunities for musicians of all levels of ability in our community.

We put on four concerts per year: 1) the Band-O-Rama in the spring featuring the PSIMS Community Band sharing the stage with bands from the high school and middle school; 2) the 4th of July concert featuring patriotic music for the community 3) the Community Band Fall Concert showcasing the talent of the Community Band directed by local concert masters; and 4) the festive Heralds of Christmas Concert to celebrate the holidays.

PSIMS Community Band members give back to the community by providing music for the High School and Curtains Up Pagosa musicals at no charge! They also participate in Master Classes for the middle and high school band members, providing specialized instruction on different instruments. PSIMS has provided two scholarships to local students to continue their studies in music as they pursue a higher education. We are raising money this year to purchase a new vibraphone for the high school music department!
