Watsonville Community Band has performed locally and abroad since 1947. Now in our 79th season the band performs Spring, Anniversary, and Winter concerts in the Central Coast. Our members range from 14 to 90 including those from all walks of life from five nearby counties. We have been privileged to perform in many venues in Europe, Australia, Canada, Mexico, and Washington, D.C. We are also one of the few adult community bands in the U.S. that performs in parades as well. As always, our performances are free to the public. We value musicianship for a lifetime and support the WCB Youth Band and local music programs in our schools.
