About the Band

The band is primarily made up of adults who enjoy playing an instrument. They vary in talent from very refined skills of music educators to individuals relearning their skills after some time away from an instrument. In age, we range from retired people to talented high school students who have been encouraged by their band directors to join the group to enhance their musical experience. We have members not only from Defiance, but from throughout northwest Ohio. If you would like join us, please contact us by email or speak with one of the directors.
