Enjoy Free Music All Day at El Cerrito High School on Saturday

The music programs in El Cerrito just keep getting better.

Join us at the El Cerrito Performing Arts Center for 12-hours of continuous live music and rehearsals and show your support for music in our public schools. Relax and enjoy the music, conduct the marching band or bring your instrument and sit in with a band!

New this year: The Wind Ensemble, Symphonic and Concert Bands will be working on new music throughout the day and will present a pops concert during the last hour of our 12-hour marathon. Rehearsals are open to the public and anyone wishing to sit in with the bands is welcome to do so.
