"We know who you are, and we're not impressed." --Modesto Police

Santa Cruz Trash Orchestra is a performance and marching percussion band, whose instruments are composed exclusively of recycled and reclaimed materials, focused on anarchist and anti-authoritarian struggles and mutual support for groups making radical social change.

Photos from the Crucible's Fire Arts Festival in West Oakland on July 11th are pretty bitchin'.  Thanks to Insurgent Photo for making us look like such rock stars.  Check out Trash Orchestra at the Fire Arts Festival.

Upcoming Performances

Long-Haul Infoshop 15th Birthday
3124 Shattuck Ave
Friday Aug 8th 8pm
Berkeley, CA
The Long Haul has served as a resource center and community space for radical grassroots activists for 15 years. Trash Orchestra will be there to help celebrate. Vegan birthday cake, music, dancing, refreshments, and a general good time. Starts immediately after the Berkeley Critical Mass ride. Website.

Weekly Practice & Performance
San Lorenzo Park, near the Courthouse
Sundays 4-6pm
Santa Cruz
Every practice is also a performance (but then again, every performance is also practice).  As much as possible we try to blur the line between practice and performance, participants and spectators.  Come join us and play with us.  If you are interested in possibly being invited to join Trash Orchestra, this is the best way for us to try each other out.
