Sylvania Symphonic Band

Sylvania Symphonic Band Directed by Matt Farris. We are a community band open to all wind and percussion players. Scholarships & college credit are available.

Though we are a official program under Portland Community College, we personally aim to take this class beyond the confines of the practice room and into our societies. We realize that music is a prominent and vital part of life, and hope to grow our community based on the joy that comes from sharing music with one another, instead of on the need to fulfill credits. Regularly we perform concerts a

t the end of the term that are available to the public with no admission fees,* and encourage casual interactions outside of the classroom, even organizing events and dinner gatherings with our members.

*Parking fees may apply depending on the concert venue

We hope to hear from you!

Hello, everyone! It's time for the regular quarterly reminder to sign up AND PAY for band if you haven't already. Matt Farris, the new director, is getting warnings about low enrollment again, so get onto MyPCC and get enrolled AND PAID right away so that you don't get booted for non-payment! Also, talk to all of your friends (including any high school players who might be interested in some college credits) about joining the band! Let's make some great music this term! :)

All right, so I think tonight we officially welcome Matt Farris to the joint, and wish Rob and his family the best of goodwill on their new frontier! TTFN, Ta-ta for now!
