The development phase was influenced by Josef Meier for the organizational and Edmund Brummel for the musical direction. In 2008 the youth wind orchestra became the Hövelhof wind orchestra.
50 years of the Hövelhof Wind Orchestra, that means in numbers: over 600 months of club life, around 1800 rehearsals, more than 6000 hours of rehearsals, over 24,381 minutes of pieces of music in the repertoire and 275,000 seconds of presentation march at the shooting festivals.
One of its main goals, appealing brass music in good quality, is shown by the orchestra, for example, at its traditional spring concert. The first spring concert took place in 1975 under the direction of Edmund Brummel. He was followed by five other conductors, who gave the orchestra their own individual touch and continued to develop it further. While the ensemble initially played more traditional folk tunes, it now masters a wide variety of musical styles, which are presented through sophisticated arrangements. Under the direction of the current conductor Guido Kostmann, in addition to the musical quality, the combination of music and show has found its way into the orchestra.
