Quality Concert Band Entertainment Since 1852
The historic Ringgold Band is proud to be one of America’s first community bands. Formed in 1852 amid the rolling hills and farms of Berks County, Pa., we continue a longstanding tradition of fine musical entertainment in southeastern Pennsylvania.
Our diverse concert programs include familiar classics and challenging new works, as well as symphonic overtures, show tunes, solos and a myriad of marches.
2011 is going to be another special year for the band as we enter our 159th anniversary year. Check back here often to keep up do date with what’s going on with the band. The 2011 schedule will be updated as concerts are contracted.
