Daly City AllStars have played continuously since 1910—until the COVID hiatus. Under the auspices of the Daly City Department of Recreation (since 1992), the band typically performs only twice a year. Traditionally, the band has met nearly every Friday year-round, to sight-read from a collection of over 2500 works under a rotating cast of directors.

We were inspired to select for today a program of all-Italian music—of which there is a great deal of wonderful material! Our opening march was the Italian national anthem from Italy’s unification in 1861, to the 1946 institution of a new republic. And for our closing number—if it’s good enough for Pavarotti at the 1990 World Cup Final, it should be suitable for us.

Daly City AllStars welcome experienced players to our current Saturday morning reading sessions. For information contact Peter Krag at pkrag@sbcglobal.net or call (415) 752-8717.
