The South Windsor Community Band is a concert band that got its start in 1995 with just 15 adult musicians who may not have played their instruments since high school. Today the band is more than 50 musicians strong and draws from talents of amateur and professional musicians and educators. The SWCB performs numerous concerts in South Windsor and the surrounding areas throughout the year.
