The Tinley Park Community Band
and Jazz Band are active year-round,
bringing the sound of live music to Tinley Park and surrounding
communities.
Established in 1987, the band
has performed throughout the Chicagoland area
and on tours of Washington D.C, Toronto, and Tinley Park's sister city of Büdingen, Germany.
Our performances are free or
have low admission fees, making an afternoon or evening of live
music affordable and family friendly.
We perform a wide repertoire of
music, including marches, show tunes, popular songs, contemporary
compositions, and classic band literature.
Members come from all over
Chicago and the surrounding suburbs to share their talents.
