A Long Beach Tradition — The Long Beach Municipal Band Celebrates 99 Years of Music!
The Long Beach Municipal Band is one of the most
distinguished and professional Municipal Bands in the United
States. The player personnel in this wonderful ensemble
includes the best of the Southern California's symphony,
studio recording and jazz performers. This diversity of
talent provides Long Beach audiences with impressive concerts
of jazz, movie, musical and light classical literature.
The Band also combines with talented guest vocalists to guarantee that your family's summer evening in the park will be the highlight of the week.
The Long Beach Municipal Band has been entertaining area

not only in this community but also in music circles around
the world. Present conductor Larry Curtis continues a tradition
of musical excellence established by such notable conductors
as the famous Sousa cornet player Herbert L. Clarke and
composer J. J. Richards.
