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.

Join us as we light ourselves and maybe others on fire at the Crucible's Fire Arts Festival in West Oakland on July 11th. The festival runs Wednesday to Saturday. We're opening on Friday night. We're unsure looking at this photo if this stage is really big or grand enough for us. Catch us at this performance while we are still playing small, intimate gigs.

| 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. |
