The Holland American Legion Band was established in 1920  by the American Legion Willard G. Leenhouts Post  No. 6 in Holland, Michigan.

The band is sponsored in part by Holland’s Legion Post, as well as the VFW Post # 2144, Vietnam Veterans of America  # 73, and the Disabled American Veterans.

The winner of the fourth annual Henry P. VanderLinde Holland American Legion Band Award was Aaron Goodyke, a junior at Holland Christian High School.

This is the fourth year the Holland American Legion Band has offered an award to honor our past director, Henry P. Vander Linde, who was the “Leader of the Band” for 40 of the band’s 90 year existence.
