The New Holland Band

A nonprofit organization
Fundraise

In the heart of Lancaster County, amidst the rich farmland of eastern Pennsylvania, the melody of history and tradition resonates through New Holland. Since its inception in 1829, the New Holland Band,  esteemed as the second oldest community band in the nation, has been the soundtrack of our community. From its early days with fifes and drums to accompany the 51st Regiment of Pennsylvania State  Militia, through the Civil War, and into the present day, the band has evolved, mirroring the spirit of each era. Once a brass and percussion ensemble, today it harmonizes a diverse range of instruments and talents under the baton of leaders like Samuel Zimmerman, Marlin Houck, Dr. Kenneth Laudermilch, and now Fred Hughes. The band's history is a vibrant tapestry of our community, with musicians from all walks of life including professionals, amateurs, and even students.

Who We Are

Since 1829, The New Holland Band has remained true to its mission of “bringing music to life.” Consisting of both professional and non-professional musicians, the band is comprised of individuals both young and old from many different walks of life such as educators, students, business professionals, technology specialists and industrial workers. Over time, the second oldest municipal band in America has evolved from a military parade band playing fifes and drums to a present-day symphonic band performing a variety of musical repertoire such as traditional band music, holiday favorites, arrangements of timeless songs of faith, and of course, patriotic music.

Mission

To preserve, maintain and advance our historical tradition of providing live performances of the highest quality band literature and performed at a consistently professional level.
