Catalogue information
The Koninklijke Harmonie St. Cecilia was founded in 1855, although earlier writings mention the Schijndelse Harmonie. The corps has about 125 music-making members, divided over the wind band with about ninety members (including students) and a marching band with about 35 members. Where the harmony succeeds in ending up in the highest division of the music federation (banner division), it is striking that the service to the bourgeoisie does not suffer from this. There is regular outing, with serenades, concerts, Queen's Day, entry of Sinterklaas and livening up in the Schijndel churches and Eucharist celebrations. In 1955 the designation "Koninklijke" was obtained. The association continuously tries to show itself worthy of this award. That this is successful is evident from the warm interest of a very large part of the Schijndel community. The board's midfield features 5 color sketches of local monuments such as a mill, a church, a pump, a farm and a statue. The banknotes are from Rabobank. The Chance cards reads "Hart van SCHIJNDEL - your shopping center".
