Greater Fort Worth Community Band

The Greater Fort Worth Community Band is a highly skilled, non-profit ensemble of 84 musicians drawn from a myriad of professions such as banking, law enforcement, programming, nursing, medicine and teaching. With a number of active and retired band directors and private teachers also contributing, the level of performance has been outstanding. Through a cooperative venture with Texas Wesleyan University, several Wesleyan students perform with the group for partial lab credit, and all the rehearsals and home concerts are held on campus in Nicholas Martin Performance Hall. The band also presents concerts at local high schools, at the Dallas Wind Symphony's Starplex Concerts in Dallas and at Peak Performance Options' Day at the Murchison in Denton.
