St Croix Valley Community Band

The St. Croix Valley Community Band is a volunteer organization of approximately 80 musicians from River Falls, Hudson and surrounding communities. The ensemble has provided opportunities for local musicians to share their talents, develop their abilities, and make connections with other musicians since it's inception in 1982 by director Kristin Tjornehoj. The band performs a wide variety of music, including symphonic band arrangements, marches, classical works, Dixieland, big band, musical theatre, and solo features. There is a participation fee of $25 per person, payable to UWRF music department.

In addition to performing locally, the band traveled internationally to the Czech Republic in 2008. The band rehearses Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 7:00 - 9:00 p.m. from mid-June through the end of July.
