City Sound was created on June 14, 1997. When creating City Sound, the goal was to create an organization that would give youths and young adults of diverse cultures, life experiences, and faiths an opportunity to develop musically to their fullest potential. City Sound assists young people in realizing and developing their skills and desire to perform in performing arts and to play music on whatever level of involvement they choose. City Sound has performed throughout California. In 2001, City Sound traveled to New York City to perform when they were invited to perform at the New York Open Drum and Bugle Corps show.
Over the years, many young adults who performed in City Sound have gone on to perform with some of the best college and performing arts groups in the country. Many more have grown to be productive members of their communities and have attributed much of their success to the work ethics and morals they learned while in City Sound.
City Sound’s goal is to make available performing arts opportunities to young adult, to steer them away from street violence, to provide them with an excellent performing arts education, and to provide a place of refugee from the everyday problems that young adults face.
