The Powell Community Band

A Community Band For Music Lovers

 

A Community Band For Music Lovers

Founded as The Greater Columbus Concert Band in 1987, The Powell Community Band is composed of about 60 instrumentalists from various backgrounds who share a common love for practicing and performing band music.

The band repertoire includes music in almost every style including dixieland, jazz, marches, show tunes, patriotic, holiday, classic works and many more.

Music is the social act of communication among people, a gesture of friendship, the strongest there is.
- Sir Malcolm Arnold
