THE VILLAGES SWING BAND

The Villages Swing Band was founded in April 2002 and offers

its members the opportunity to play a variety of music while

focussing on the music of the Swing Era.

The group not only thoroughly enjoys rehearsing together every week,

sharing a love for “all things swing,” it also presents public concerts,

dances, and other events. The Swing Band falls

under the umbrella of The Bands of The Villages.

    rehearsing routinely, and performing throughout the year in a variety of

    locations.

    • Potential members are welcomed to contact the directors of the different

    bands, groups, or ensembles for possible placement.
