Dallas Wind Symphony - D/FW Community Bands

Dallas-Fort Worth Area Community Bands

The Dallas-Ft. Worth area has more community bands per capita than anywhere in the United States. Each spring the DWS invites many of them to perform at our headquarters (the Fair Park Bandshell) as part of our Starlight Band Concerts.

Here is a listing of the bands in our area. Please support your local band by attending their concerts, or maybe get that dusty old instrument out of your closet and join up!
