This summer, Tri-City Band Corps (TBC)—a student-led nonprofit dedicated to bringing music into the community—is kicking off an exciting season. With opportunities for students ranging from elementary to high school, TBC continues its mission to foster musicianship, leadership and community connection through the power of music.
The Cadet Regiment, TBC’s middle school marching band, will be rehearsing throughout the summer across three sites: Fremont, San Jose and Pleasanton. Practices begin June 1 and will be held multiple times a week until July 25. Students are expected to bring their own instruments (with all percussion provided). No prior marching experience is necessary.
In addition to learning drill and music, cadets will perform in three major parades before closing out the season with a summer concert on July 27.
The Royal Regiment, which is TBC’s high school-level ensemble, will have a busy but rewarding rehearsal schedule as they prepare for performances across the Bay Area, including Rancho Cordova and Santa Clara County’s parades.
With sectional rehearsals for both percussion and color guard, students will focus on building strong coordination, musical precision and crowd-ready performances. Their season kicks off with the Hollister Rodeo Parade on June 21 and wraps up by late July.
For younger musicians, the Hastati Regiment offers a welcoming entry into marching arts. Designed for elementary school students, this program focuses on foundational music and movement skills in a fun and supportive environment. More details about Hastati’s program can be found on the TBC website.
