Lab Band Program Association was founded in 1992 with the dual purpose of preserving Jazz, America’s original musical legacy, and bringing an exciting extracurricular music program to southern Oregon’s rural coast.  Our program is available to young musicians ages 10-21.  Open rehearsals are held twice weekly at our offices and rehearsal studio in North Bend, Oregon.  ​

Lab Band Program Association was created with the intention of supporting local music curriculum.  Members are encouraged to either actively participate in their school performing arts program or take private lessons.  We offer five bands to meet every talent level; Beginning, Senior, our premiere group, Evolution, our small performance combo, The Wednesday Night Seven and our parents and 21 plus group,The Tuesday Tempos.

Our emphasis on a fun, yet professional environment and frequent performances promote self esteem and musical growth, while building an impressive resume for our college-bound members.  Along the way they develop the respectful camaraderie and teamwork that comes with being part of a hard-working band.

Experienced members are encouraged to mentor their younger counterparts, giving life to our credo…”Passing It On”.

Our kids take great pride their role as exceptional, enthusiastic ambassadors of Central Oregon.  Their joyful exuberance, professionalism, and impressive skills bring a welcome blast of positive attention to themselves, their families, teachers and our community!

​Lab Band Program Association is a 501(C)3 organization.
