There are many community orchestras, but there is only ONE community concert band.

Director Mike Corrigan welcomes you to join Santa Monica Colleges' Emeritus College Concert Band.  It is the only community band around the Santa Monica and Westside area.  

We give several concerts during the year at the Broad Stage of Santa Monica College's Performing Arts Center.  Over the years, the band has grown and now has a membership of 65 musicians ranging from players in their teens to those in their 80s.
