About The Band...
The Hilton Generations Band is an independent community marching band based
in Hilton, NY. The band has several members
stemming from the former Hilton Fire Department
Marching Band (1979-1994).
In 2008 the band re-united for the Hilton carnival parades as a reunion of
the former Firemen's Band, but with family
and friends by their side and under the new name.
After winning 1st place in their division, five members knew it was time to re-form what
was once a tremendous powerhouse in the
Western NY competitive parade band circuit,
but now in a few form.
In 2009, their first full season the band went
Undefeated in Non Firemen's Band! Scores ranged from the mid 80's to a season high of 94.7%!!

Our musicians have a tremendous passion for music, and they let this passion
drive them to work to achieve tremendous success.
There is no charge to be a member of our band, it is a full volunteer basis. Even if you haven't marched in years, if you're willing to put in the time we'd love to have you come see what we're all about.
Although our drumline is currently full and no longer accepting new members, we are still looking for some more horn players. If you are interested, please contact us now to learn more on how to become a member!Today, our band is an independent group for hire, open to the musicians of Western New York. Young and old, side by side, the musicians of our great communities march together, as one...
