Community-minded and respectful
Having played countless fundraisers, festivals, and local events, the band brings a positive, family-friendly presence while still delivering fun, high-energy entertainment.

Trash Pandas formed through a shared passion for music and education. Many of the members first met as teachers and parents at an elementary school within Jeffco Public Schools, where they came together to play fundraising events for the school’s PTA. What started as a few benefit performances quickly turned into something bigger — a band built on friendship, experience, and a love for entertaining.

With members who have been part of the Denver music scene for over 20 years, Trash Pandas bring a deep well of musical talent and professionalism to every show. Their sound blends classic favorites with modern hits across rock, pop, country, and Americana, enhanced by rich harmonies and a unique lineup that includes violin and saxophone.

From community events and festivals to private parties and corporate gatherings, Trash Pandas deliver high-energy, crowd-pleasing performances that keep audiences engaged and dancing all night.

Technical Requirements & Production

Trash Pandas are fully equipped to perform in a wide range of venues and event sizes. The band can provide a complete professional PA system suitable for large indoor facilities, outdoor events, and festival settings, as well as stage lighting when venue production is not available. The group is also happy to work with in-house sound systems and venue engineers when provided.

The band uses an in-ear monitoring system, which allows for controlled stage volume, clear mixes, and an overall smoother sound experience for both the audience and the venue.

A minimum recommended stage area is approximately 20 feet by 12 feet, though the setup is flexible depending on the venue. Standard 120-volt power access near the stage area is required.

A typical input list includes multiple vocal microphones for lead and harmony singers, microphones for guitar amplifiers or direct inputs, bass via direct input, stereo direct input for keyboards, a microphone for saxophone, a microphone or direct input for violin, and a minimal drum mic setup such as kick, snare, and overheads (or similar depending on venue capabilities).

Load-in generally takes about 60 to 90 minutes prior to performance, with an additional 30 to 45 minutes for soundcheck when a full PA system is used.
