Community Connections

Community Orchestras and Bands

We live in a music-rich community, and we hope you will take advantage of the many opportunities to listen and to play! Did you know that the Dallas-Ft. Worth area has more community bands per capita than anywhere in the United States?! Here is a listing of the orchestras and bands in our area. Many GDYO alumni are members of these groups! Please support your local orchestra and/or band by attending their concerts!
