The Powell Community Band
The Powell Community Band is a vibrant ensemble that unites musicians of all skill levels in the heart of Powell, Ohio. Formerly known as The Greater Columbus Concert Band (founded in 1987), the group relocated to Powell in January 2021 at the invitation of city leadership. Since then, we have enjoyed a warm welcome from the community, thanks in large part to our partnership with Faith Life Church, which generously hosts our weekly rehearsals.
Dedicated to celebrating music and community, the band performs a diverse repertoire, ranging from traditional and patriotic favorites to contemporary pieces. We are proud to host the annual **Village Green Summer Concert Series** in collaboration with the city, featuring performances on the second Sunday of June, July, and August. Each year, we invite other Central Ohio community bands to join us, fostering a spirit of collaboration and shared musical joy.
Another cherished Powell tradition is our annual **Holiday Concert**, held in early December at the Faith Life Church Auditorium, where we spread seasonal cheer through music.
Beyond these events, the band actively engages with long-standing community partners, performing at occasions such as the **Milvets Armed Forces Day Luncheon**, the **Park of Roses Summer Concert Series**, and the **Worthington Christian Village Summer and Christmas celebrations**. Additionally, the full band—or smaller ensembles within it—is available to perform at Powell community events, including **Veterans Day**, the **Christmas Tree Lighting Celebration**, and more.
Together, we create beautiful music that resonates far beyond the stage, enriching lives and strengthening community bonds.
