Re: Community Band(s) in/near Oakland, CA

The Alameda band is a good bet. They meet on Tuesday nights. The conductor is a good guy; he and I play reeds in a local big band.

There are also a number of groups associated with the local community colleges and adult schools. For example, Castro Valley has a concert band (I think they rehearse on Wednesday nights), Chabot College in Hayward has a community group that meets on Mondays and a rather good school group (with community players) that meets on Wednesday.

You can probably get to Hayward or Castro Valley in 30 minutes. There are groups at Diablo Valley College in Pleasant Hill and the Contra Costa Wind Symphony in Concord, but there you run the risk of slow traffic through the Caldecott tunnel.
