About the Band

This site is devoted entirely to Tri-Valley's variety of bands and the talented members that play in each one. No matter what your style of music you'll find that Tri-Valley has a band to fit everyone's interests. The members of these bands work very hard to bring together the songs that are played at the contest, games and other activities. If it weren't for these active and devoted members our events would not be nearly as enjoyable as they are! Tri-Valley thanks the participation of these budding musicians.
