Who Are We?

The Tinley Park “Arts Alive!” Community Band is active year-round sharing their talent and bringing the sound of live concert band and jazz music to Tinley Park and surrounding communities. The band was established in 1987 under the Tinley Park-Park District's “Arts Alive!” program to encourage, promote, teach and perform the fine arts.

The band performs often throughout the Chicagoland area. Many of these concerts are FREE or have a very low admission fee, making an afternoon or evening of live music affordable and family-friendly. The band performs a wide-ranging repertoire, including marches, show tunes, popular songs, contemporary compositions and classical band literature.

The band also represents the Village of Tinley Park. It has made successful tours to Germany in 1994 and 2000 as part of the Tinley Park-Büdingen Sister Cities cultural exchange program. In 2004, the band represented the State of Illinois at ceremonies surrounding the dedication of the National World War II Memorial in Washington D.C.

We invite musicians from high school age to adult to come join the band. For more information, select from the following links or E-mail us at artsaliveband@yahoo.com
