The Rohrersville Cornet Band was organized in 1837 as McCoy’s Cornet Band and is Maryland’s oldest community band in continuous existence. The band is now 186 years old. The band was founded by Washington McCoy. McCoy worked on the C&O Canal and in later years operated his own marble cutting business in Rohrersville.
