Patientia Vincit Omnia

The group was originally formed as a fanfare in 1898, in honor of the inauguration of Queen Wilhelmina. The name, Patientia Omnia Vincit (Patience Conquers All) was selected by the principal of the Catholic school, Mr. Van Eindthoven.

After 25 years, it was decided the group should become a band, with brass, percussion, and woodwinds joining the orchestra. The change was well received within the Soest community. The Soester Courant wrote about the first act as Wind Orchestra: "In a crowded room with a Rembrandt grateful audience gave us a Fanfare Corps Friday, February 8th a brilliant performance".

The next extension of the association took place in 1969, when a majorette group, minirettegroep and a color guard were added. These groups were retired in 1997 due to a lack of enthusiasm.

From its creation, PVO had led a nomadic life, with rehearsal rooms spread throughout the town. This came to an end in 1974, with the purchase of a former cinema, later used as a church building of the Apostolic Society. After a thorough renovation, the building was transformed into a complete home for the association, with a large hall, small rehearsal studios, a meeting room, music library and a bar.
