Every night in LA, there are countless concerts and open mics, where performers try to get even a few minutes of time in the limelight. For local musicians, it can be hard to find their place in such a crowded field. But one group in Northeast L.A. has made a space where people of all levels and experience can shine: the Hermon Park Community Band. KPCC's Ari Saperstein has their story.

The Hermon Park Community Band is supported by a non-profit organization called Art In The Park. They're located at the Arroyo Secco Park in Hermon Park at 5568 Via Marisol Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90042.
