170 Years Old and Still Going Strong!
As you'll read on our About Us page, the Washington Band of Annville has a long and proud history in the community, dating back to 1856, making us the oldest community band in Lebanon County, and one of the oldest in the United States. The band provides music for concerts, community events, and veterans/military recognitions, enriching the cultural life of the area. |
