San Jose Metropolitan Band

As a music teacher who’s been immersed in the transition to e-learning over the past two weeks, the more I try and shape the curriculum to try and replace what we were developing in daily band, orchestra and jazz rehearsals, the more I realize that this is an impossible task. Nothing can replace what young musicians experience from playing in an ensemble (not even SmartMusic).

Sunday, December 1, 2019 at the Hammer Theatre Center, downtown San Jose, CA

Next Sunday you really should come and hear the San Jose Metropolitan Band play a concert of Great Russian Classics! We are playing the entire Pictures at and Exhibition - usually you just hear the popular movements! Come out and support a live performance by people aged 16 - 80+, who love music!!

March 10, 3pm, McAfee Performing Arts Center (Saratoga HS) ALL RUSSIAN MUSIC!!! Tschaikovsky, Shostakovich, Mousorgsky, Rimsky-Korsakov... да!

Merry Christmas to the band! https://youtu.be/A10N9K1m2x8

Thank you for attending our concerts this year. We’ve had a ton of fun preparing interesting new, challenging repertoire to showcase our best local musicians. As music director, it’s most gratifying to watch and HEAR the consistent development of our community band year-over-year. Happy holidays to all! - Greg Bergantz

Put this on your ToDo list for Tuesday morning at 5am: Donate early on Tuesday so we can get some of the $7 million in matching money from Facebook and PayPal. A big Thank You to Don for being one of our members to set up a Facebook fundraiser for us!

This concert has really interesting music, but its also hard. Most if it's fast, it's unpredictable, constantly changing, some of it's totally chop busting. We are working our butts off to bring you an exciting concert. All we need now is YOU. We need you at the concert. Come and be part of the experience by filling the auditorium. Having a full house really inspires the musicians to play at their best. Buy your tickets now and skip the line paying at the door. sjmb.vbotickets.com
