Zeeland Community Band
Judith Meyer,
conductor
Zeeland, Michigan
In January of 1994 the Zeeland Community Band was started with only 15 members. The band has tripled in size since then, with members coming to play from many West Michigan communities. The band also includes several parent/child members, which makes the band a true "community" group.
The Zeeland Community Band plays many kinds of music, including marches, musicals, movie music, classic band music, jazz, popular and seasonal. Personnel in the band ranges from the very inexperienced to several members with music degrees. There is no fee to join the band, and no audition; however, it’s recommended that members be able to play at high school level or above.
Judith Meyer is the founding conductor of the band and is in her 22nd year of teaching Middle School band. She has spent the past 6 years in the Zeeland Public School system.
