Join us for the inaugural year of the Mesa Bands! Playing live music has proven to be incredible for aspiring musicians. It inspires, builds collaboration skills, invites courage, and prepares young students for future careers. Our curriculum is focused on preparing for and experiencing live performances. It gives students excelling in their school's music program a space to go beyond with added learning, performing, and collaborating opportunities in a semi-professional, high energy, environment.
Starting in August of 2025 we will be launching a middle school age band, high school age band, and adult band in Grand Junction Colorado. Each band will focus on a wide range of musical styles including rock, soul, blues, pop, folk, and funk. Auditions help us group students with similar ability levels. We encourage everyone of all ability levels to sign up for an audition!
The group is directed by guitarist and educator, Ivan Gygi, with leaders of the local music community as guest artists and clinicians including Adrian Herrera, Tim Emmons, Rob Labig and others.
Weekly rehearsals begin in August 2025 with day and time to be determined. Rehearsals run through the academic school year.
Students are required to be a part of their schools music program.
Piano, bass, guitar, drums, trombone, trumpet, saxophone, and vocals.
