• Community band celebrates three decades of music (lvcampustimes.org) — A long‑running British brass band that has performed in Sierra Madre is celebrating 30 years of bringing musicians and audiences together across Southern California. Founders and longtime members reflect on the group's origins, its ties to Pomona's concert band, and how these free or low‑cost performances quietly strengthen community connections in towns like Sierra Madre, Covina, Claremont, and beyond.
