THE CORTLAND OLD TIMERS BAND is a volunteer community band, whose heritage can be traced back nearly 150 years, when the Mascagni Italian Band, organized and conducted by Frank Crisara, was formed. Members of the band have also performed in the St. Anthony's Band, The VFW Band, and the Cortland Civic Band. The musicians especially found an appeal in Cortland's Italian community celebrations. Past conductors have included Dr. Sam Forcucci, Donna Yacavone, and Edward O'Rourke. The band is comprised of volunteer members who strive to enrich the Cortland-area community and future generations with their passion for live concert band performances. Thank you to our audience members for their support!
