The Gem City Bands rehearse on Tuesday nights, with the Jazz Band practicing from 6:15 to 7:45, followed by Concert Band rehearsal from 8:00 to 9:30. Rehearsals are typically held in the lower level meeting room of St. John's Lutheran Church at 23rd and Peach Streets. Perspective members should contact the band at 814-899-8467.
