About Us
Who Are We
The Florida 9th District American Legion Symphonic Band is a non-profit
organization sponsored by the American Legion 9th District. With over
60 professional and amateur musicians who volunteer their time and talents,
the band provides live music for enjoyment throughout the Tri-County Area
(Broward, Palm Beach, Dade).
The concert band originated in January 2004 in Oakland Park, FL. It was
founded by Arthur Tenney and was incorporated under the name “American
Legion Symphonic Pops, Inc”. Today it is one of the few community
concert bands in South Florida, and is the only American Legion-affiliated
band in Florida. Previously known as the Oakland Park American Legion
Symphonic Band, the band was renamed to the Florida 9th District American
Legion Symphonic Band in November 2008 in gratitude for the 9th District's
sponsorship.
Both the symphonic band and Nostalgia perform at various venues including
the City of Oakland Park, the Alexander Nininger State Veterans’ Home,
the Parks and Recreation Departments of Pompano Beach, the John Knox Village,
and veteran’s activities and other patriotic events sponsored by
the Florida 9th District American Legion.
