About the Band

The Crosstown Community Band held its first rehearsal in June, 2011. Our musicians come from a variety of backgrounds and interests. This is reflected in the broad range of musical genres and styles we enjoy playing. XTB is responsive to requests from our performing venues. Summer concerts include a variety of pops and some less- known work, both traditional and contemporary, as was performed for FinnFest 2017 at Orchestra Hall. Our annual holiday concerts are a favorite for audiences and band members alike with classics like “Sleigh Ride”, and contemporary jazzy pieces like “All I Want for Christmas is You.”

All adult musicians able to play at high school level, including high school students with parental consent, are welcome to join. 

The band practices at Richfield Lutheran Church at 8 West 60th Street in Southwest Minneapolis.  If you are interested in joining us, please contact us at XTB@crosstowncommunityband.org!
