The Boerne Village Band was organized in 1860 by Dr. Karl Dienger who also organized the Boerne Gesang Verein, a singing group. Until 1885 he was in charge of both groups, and he combined singing fests with the German band music throughout the Texas Hill Country. The Band has been recognized by the German government and the State of Texas as the oldest continuous German Band in the World outside of Germany.
