Haunted by the horrors of war and struggling to reintegrate into civilian life\, Donny and his band members find that coming home is more challenging than they ever imagined. When singer Julia Trojan\, a war widow seeking answers to her own painful questions\, joins the group\, their music becomes a path toward healing and hope. As they compete for fame and recognition\, these survivors must confront their demons\, support each other through invisible wounds\, and discover that the greatest battles are sometimes the ones fought after the war ends. Through soaring melodies and heart-wrenching honesty\, “Bandstand” is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the redemptive power of music

SUMMARY:Art of Rehabilitation
DESCRIPTION:What if art could change lives? \nA powerful new exhibit at the County of Monterey Administration building in Salinas proves it can. The installation showcases work by inmates from Soledad Correctional Training Facility—videos\, audio\, poetry and visual pieces that reveal the transformative potential of creativity and rehabilitation behind bars. \nCreated through the Life on Art’s – Rehabilitation program\, these works are more than art—they’re part of a proven strategy to reduce recidivism and prepare inmates for successful reentry into society. The program complements existing education and mental health services\, giving incarcerated individuals a vital tool for self-expression and healing. \nEach piece tells a story. Hear directly from the artists themselves as they share the thoughts\, struggles\, and hopes that shaped their work. This isn’t just an art show—it’s a window into the humanity of people often unseen\, and a testament to the rehabilitative power of creative expression.

SUMMARY:PG Museum’s History on Tap Delves into Vigilantes\, Vendettas\, and Monterey County’s Hidden Stash of Gold
DESCRIPTION:Legend has it that a stash of millions of dollars’ worth of gold still awaits discovery somewhere in Monterey County\, and that’s not even the most interesting part of\nthe true story shared at the Pacific Grove Museum’s History on Tap on November 13th. Attendees will hear the story of Jose Maria Sanchez\, an early cattle rancher and one of the county’s wealthiest men\, who upon his untimely death left the hoard of treasure\nfor his children. From there\, avarice\, jealousy\, feuds\, corruption\, and all the human failings that can appear when a bounty of this magnitude is on the line took hold\, leading to deaths\, murders\, shootouts\, and ghost stories that continue to this day. \nThere’s far more to this tale than can be written here\, but participants will be in very good hands with speakers Brian Edwards\, Library & Museums Director for the City of Monterey\, and Hayley Aiello\, Artifacts\nSpecialist with the City of Monterey and Curatorial Aid with California State Parks. Together they’ll weave this tale of a Monterey from over 150 years ago and find some common ground with today’s landscapes.

SUMMARY:Art of Rehabilitation
DESCRIPTION:What if art could change lives? \nA powerful new exhibit at the County of Monterey Administration building in Salinas proves it can. The installation showcases work by inmates from Soledad Correctional Training Facility—videos\, audio\, poetry and visual pieces that reveal the transformative potential of creativity and rehabilitation behind bars. \nCreated through the Life on Art’s – Rehabilitation program\, these works are more than art—they’re part of a proven strategy to reduce recidivism and prepare inmates for successful reentry into society. The program complements existing education and mental health services\, giving incarcerated individuals a vital tool for self-expression and healing. \nEach piece tells a story. Hear directly from the artists themselves as they share the thoughts\, struggles\, and hopes that shaped their work. This isn’t just an art show—it’s a window into the humanity of people often unseen\, and a testament to the rehabilitative power of creative expression.

SUMMARY:Art of Rehabilitation
DESCRIPTION:What if art could change lives? \nA powerful new exhibit at the County of Monterey Administration building in Salinas proves it can. The installation showcases work by inmates from Soledad Correctional Training Facility—videos\, audio\, poetry and visual pieces that reveal the transformative potential of creativity and rehabilitation behind bars. \nCreated through the Life on Art’s – Rehabilitation program\, these works are more than art—they’re part of a proven strategy to reduce recidivism and prepare inmates for successful reentry into society. The program complements existing education and mental health services\, giving incarcerated individuals a vital tool for self-expression and healing. \nEach piece tells a story. Hear directly from the artists themselves as they share the thoughts\, struggles\, and hopes that shaped their work. This isn’t just an art show—it’s a window into the humanity of people often unseen\, and a testament to the rehabilitative power of creative expression.
