Our goal is to build community by providing educational, performance, and cultural opportunities for all ages.

Our 32 piece Big Band is unique and is comprised of musicians ages 14 to 91. In addition to a standard 17-piece Big Band we are complimented by string, clarinet, and flute sections.

We encourage our senior musicians to be ambassadors of the message "music can be with you your entire life." Our band members are encouraged to support and promote music and music education as a vital discipline in our communities, churches, and schools.

Our most junior musicians offer enthusiasm and energy to the mix of ages.

We promote music as a vital discipline in life where teamwork, hard work, pride, fun, and play converge and enrich the lives of our community and our members.
