The Buffalo Grove Symphonic Band is an integral part of Buffalo Grove's extensive promotion of the arts, along with other non-instrumental music groups, drama productions, and arts events that occur regularly throughout the year. In its 16-year history, it has grown into one of the premiere community bands in northern Illinois.
In addition to the Symphonic Band, its core ensemble, the band has branched out into small ensembles that perform in an annual Ensemble Recital as well as independent venues throughout the year and a full Jazz Band that performs jazz classics by Artie Shaw, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Maynard Ferguson, and others.
