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.
***Trash Orchestra is currently on hiatus, undergoing some structural changes. We will be active again soon, and we will keep you posted. Meanwhile, we are welcoming tryouts to contact us at trash@riseup.net***
We make percussion on tuned cans, hubcaps and barrels, drums, pieces of sheet metal, and homemade oddities. We are a bone-shaking recycled orchestra – a sonic force of fiery resistance!
We appear invited and uninvited at protests and celebrations, furors and frackuses, anywhere there's a need to make a ruckus, to shout out and help right injustice, suffering, and oppression, to make a big noise to celebrate our victories and our losses.
If you are full of rebellious insolence and music in your heart, we want you to be part of the band. Bring your courage, your passion, your righteous anger. Bring your instruments, recycled or otherwise.
