The band plays a variety of music with lots of “sing along” selections which are popular and
guaranteed to get audiences on their feet. Typical venues include performances
for community events, club meetings, birthdays, and similar festive occasions.
The Strollers are often seen performing for special events on the town squares, club
meetings through out The Villages, and events outside The Villages. Audiences never know
what to expect when the group shows up wearing wacky outfits and setting up music
stands to get ready to play their happy tunes.A major goal of the band is to entertain
audiences through the involvement of singing and even dancing with the music.
Membership is opened to residents of The Villages with prior instrumental musical experience.
Rehearsals are on Mondays at 4:00 p.m. prior to scheduled performances.

are dependent upon bookings. It is not unusual to play 3-4 times a month-while having fun at the
same time. For further information and/or booking a performance, please contact Ward Green.

Attendance Policy for playing a Concert
As we continue grow
in quality of performance
and quantity of members
it is imperative to have full attendance at rehearsals.
We all know that there are very good reasons why people are not able to attend every rehearsal
and those reasons are respected; however, the following guidelines have been established to insure the highest level of performance that we
can possibly achieve.
