Welcome to the offical website of the Sacramento Youth Band (SYB)
A community-based nonprofit organization, The Sacramento Youth Band has been welcoming young musicians since 1957.
We welcome those interested in joining our ensembles to sit in for up to two rehearsals before becoming a member. Visit our Join SYB and About pages for more details.
Founded by W. Russell Kline of Kline Music, SYB has been educating and inspiring young musicians in the Sacramento area for over 60 years! Read more about our history here.
SYB is excited to be participating in this year's Big Day of Giving Thursday, May 1. But wait - early giving is already underway! You can now give to Sacramento Youth Band and support Greater Sacramento music students here.
SYB is thankful to be a part of this long-standing initiative to grow local philanthropy. Big Day of Giving is a 24-hour giving challenge that brings the region together to support the nonprofits, like Sacramento Youth Band, that serve our community.
