A Brief History

In 1920 the newly formed Willard G. Leenhouts American Legion Post 6 in Holland, Michigan, established a band. American Legion members from the area who had experience on musical instruments were invited to join the band, and following the Legion's purpose of serving the entire community, other musicians from the area were also invited to participate. The band members' pride and commitment have been consistent throughout the years.

The band has grown from 25 musicians in 1920 to nearly 100 in recent years. There is a core of regular members that is augmented by other area musicians, including high school and college students, during the summer concert season. Due to a strong sense of pride in the band and its service, many of the band's current musicians are second or third generation Holland American Legion Band members.
