BANDS OF THE VILLAGES

Welcome to the website of the Bands of the Villages (BOTV). The BOTV is an

umbrella organization which includes a variety of concert bands, musical groups,

and instrumental ensembles.

 

    • All of the directors and participating musicians are volunteers and reside in

    the Villages.

    • The musicians, both amateur and professional, enjoy playing music together,

    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.

    • The major purpose listed in the BOTV bylaws is to provide cultural benefits

    and musical entertainment for the community through concerts, festivals,

    parades, and other events.

    • The business of the organization is managed by a Board comprising the

    music directors and representatives from each of the approved concert

    bands, groups, or ensembles.

 

The BOTV is a 501(C)(3) nonprofit corporation with a significant portion of performance proceeds given to charitable programs including those involved

with music education, senior health, and military families.

LOVE SONGS

 The sound of music makes an old heart swell. It lifts us up to some

enchanted land and gifts us with a lovely, magic spell,

As heart and mind enjoy the Concert Band.

The mind remembers old songs note by note while heart just feels

emotion leaping ’round.

And as the music lets our spirits float, from all our earthly trials we’re unbound.

Whatever we must do to carry on-to show our love and demonstrate 

a skill we’ll do until we’re stilled and music’s gone. For when we played

there was no greater thrill. No moment when we could not understand the joy of music played in Concert Band!
