Welcome!

The SCB Is Headed To Carnegie Hall in 2027!

Next April, the Saratoga Community Band will have the rare and extraordinary honor of performing on this world-famous stage. This isn’t just a trip; it’s a testament to the years of practice, passion, and community support that have built our ensemble into what it is today.

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we are committed to making this dream accessible to every one of our members, regardless of their financial situation. With that in mind, we are hoping to defray some of the overall cost through donations to the band. If you would like to help us realize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, please click on the button below and make a donation.

By supporting us, you aren’t just funding a trip—you are investing in the cultural life of our community and providing our musicians with a milestone they will carry for the rest of their lives.


Welcome to the online home of The Saratoga Community Band, in Saratoga CA. The band was founded in 1989, and numbers between 50 and 80 musicians each semester, ranging in age from 16 to 80+.

We rehearse Monday evenings in the Saratoga High School band room, under the direction of Steve Barnhill.

The band performs several concerts each year, all performances are open to the public, and there is no charge to attend. We would love to see you at our next concert: concert dates and locations can be found on our Concert Schedule page.
