On August 2, 1856, nine men from Annville founded a band of all cornets. This fledgling “cornet band”, under the leadership of John Henning, rehearsed in the tavern at the west end of town, known then as the Washington House. Hence, the Washington Cornet Band of Annville got its name.
The Washington Band of Annville continues to provide quality music for Annville and surrounding communities.
