All pieces performed by the Gainesville Community Band.

There is  a nice writeup of the band in the June 2009 issue of Gainesville Today Magazine.

Here’s the intro paragraph:

“The love of music is a common bond shared by members of the Gainesville Community Band. It dates back to junior high, high school and college when the 80 members played in respective bands across the country. Some went on to perform as professional musicians while others found careers far removed from the music world. The camaraderie for the band continues to shine for this diverse group at concerts throughout the Gainesville area.”
