Supporting a Lifelong Musical Experience
Throughout the years, community bands have been a principal exponent of American musical culture at the grassroots level, playing for social and ceremonial occasions in bandstands, town halls, and auditoriums. Community bands provide a means for continued musical expression by thousands of talented performers and an important cultural source for audience members.
In 1979, keeping with the spirit of this great American tradition, South Florida-based musicians founded the Greater Miami Symphonic Band.
