The Pineland Symphonic Band Starts Its 2023 Season

TOMS RIVER – The Pineland Symphonic Band will be performing its first concert of the season on May 10, 7 p.m. at the Ocean County Library, Washington Street, Toms River. The band is a non-profit community band of volunteer musicians that’s been performing locally for close to 40 years and is currently directed by retired Toms River High School South Band Director, Mr. Jack Milkovitz.

The band is comprised of both amateur and professional musicians with diverse backgrounds - from a National Guard Black Hawk helicopter pilot to former music teachers as well as

Government musicians who played in high school, college and have now resumed practicing and performing because of their love of music.
