Established in 1984, the Gwinnett Community Band is a non-profit group of volunteer, metro Atlanta adult amateur volunteer musicians. They performed in Suwanee as part of the 2011 Memorial Day event. The Sugar Hill LDS Choir draws its volunteer members from Dawson, Hall, Gwinnett and Forsyth counties.
