That's because they are professionals. I don't know for sure, but I don't think there are any (or very few at best) actual Villages residents among them. Most or perhaps all are professional musicians from Orlando and other locales. They do sometimes have Villages residents play or sing one or two songs with them, but they are not a resident performing group like the Concert Band, Hometown Band, Village Voices, Villages Pops Chorus, etc. The Philharmonic Choir does have more residents in the group, I believe.
