The Bettendorf Community Band started in the fall of 1967 and today consists of more than 40 musicians who rehearse weekly and perform several concerts a year. The volunteer concert band provides a welcoming environment where musicians of varying skill levels can develop, broaden, and express their musical abilities through rehearsal and performance.
