The band was formed in the spring of 1991 by Terry Holzworth and Diane Ward. Initially, it operated through the Adult Continuing Education System. Later, it became part of the West Jordan City and eventually the Cultural Arts Society of West Jordan. Over its 30+ years, the band has been led by many excellent directors, including Julie Christopherson, Rex Bailey, Dellane Jessop, and Jen Worthen. The band is now conducted by a dynamic team of veteran educators: Erik Wieben and Brandon Larsen. Mr Wieben & Mr Larsen have been conducting the ensemble since 2023.
