The Tinley Park Community Band and Jazz Band are active year-round, sharing their talents and bringing the sound of live music to Tinley Park and the surrounding communities.

Established in 1987, the band has performed throughout the Chicagoland area. Many of these concerts are free or have a very low admission fee, making an afternoon or evening of live music affordable and family-friendly.

The band performs a wide-ranging repertoire, including marches, show tunes, popular songs, contemporary compositions, and classical band literature.  Members come from all over Chicago and the suburbs.
