Pleasanton Community Concert Band

About the Band

Membership

The Band is open to anyone with at least moderate instrumental playing ability. Present membership includes about 60 active players plus another 50-60 persons available on call, all volunteers.

Members range in age from their teens to their eighties. They come from all walks of life—education, health, engineering, science, technology, business, retail, transportation, etc. Some have college and graduate degrees in music, whereas others received all their music education in high school. All continue enjoying music through the Band. Most reside in the Tri-Valley Area communities of Pleasanton, Livermore, Dublin, San Ramon, and Danville, although some are from as far away as Alameda, Brentwood, Hayward, Oakland, San Lorenzo, Stockton, Fremont, and San Francisco.

Many members play in other musical groups as well—including the Livermore-Amador Symphony, the Livermore Valley Opera, the Pleasanton Playhouse Orchestra, the San Ramon Symphonic Band, the Stony Ridge Ramblers Dixieland Jazz Band, Valley Brass, Vintage Brass Quintet, the Don Veca Big Band, the Blackbird Jazz Band, and other community ensembles
and bands.

There are no dues to join the Band. For further information on joining the Band, please call the Conductor or Personnel Manager.
