Gainesville Community Band

The Gainesville Community Band is a member of the Association of Concert Bands. It was founded in 1974 with eleven members. In 1978, the Gainesville City Commission passed a resolution designating the GCB as the Official Community Band of Gainesville. The Band is funded by a diverse group of patrons and sponsors and is an all-volunteer, non-profit [501 c(3)] organization. With a current a roster of about 80 members, the Band is made up of teachers, professors, scientists, business professionals, students, physicians, contractors, realtors, trades-persons, and retirees. Several professional musicians, who perform with other area groups, volunteer their talents with the Gainesville Community Band.
