About our Band
The Kiski Valley Community Band was established in 1993 because of the desire of our adult musicians to have an outlet for their musical talent.
Our band consists of musicians ranging from high school students to the over-50 crowd. Members come from many communities in the Kiski Valley region including Vandergrift, Apollo, Leechburg, New Kensington, Lower Burrell, Springdale and Freeport.
The Kiski Valley Community Band performs at many community functions during the year. About our Officers

She is co-director the elementary band and on the staff of the Kiski Area High School marching band. A graduate of Indiana University of Pennsylvania, Patti is an accomplished clarinetist.
Carol Pinto-Smith, the principal flutist, is the band secretary and public relations coordinator and has also been with the band from its beginning.
