I'm in San pedro, California and i have yet to find a Los Angeles salvation army volunteer brass band. I play Euphonium with the palas verdes symphonic winds but i want play my Eb tuba with a brass group.

Anyone know of a active band in LA?
I might start one out of the San Pedro salvation army because they have a youth orchestra in long beach.

If anyone in LA is interested in joining or starting one please pm me.

i'm a fan of the SA and like to give when I can.

My only issue with them is my own failing in matters of Temperance.

I have a friend that plays Eb tuba in the SA Band in Long Beach, CA. I have seen the Pasadena Citadel SA Band. There is a YouTube video of a SA Band in Pomona, CA. There is a citadel in Tustin Ranch, CA that has a band. http://www.sactr.com/

I'd be interested in seeing what comes of your project and where you guys decide to practice or play..I am in O.C. and have family in Harbor City that I visit frequently.

I play Euphonium with the PSW and there was no charge for anything, they get help from Harbor College and ticket sales. They do play on Wednesday nights though.

When i played with the Santa Monica Community Band they just asked you to sign up at smc and help the class, cost $40 a semester but most don't pay and just show up, they also met on Wednesday nights.

The Long Beach band might be a regional band.

BTW, the two community bands I play with do not charge any fees. Below is a link to the community band links page that I created on one of band websites I do. All the links are to Southern California community bands. Maybe you find one close to you that doesn't charge fees.

Just as a note one of my local bands charges $108.00 a year if you practice once a week and 2X that if you go twice. The other group, Repaz Band of Williamsport, PA is free but a little more work oriented I have heard...
