Hayward Municipal Band History
Founded in 1957 by City maintenance workers Ed Mendonca and Tony Nunes, the band has grown into a cherished local tradition.

His daughter, Kathy Maier—formerly assistant conductor—has continued the legacy and led the band for more than 15 seasons.

Extreme Heat Preparedness
Stay Safe: Be Prepared for Extreme Heat
Beat the Heat – Know Where to Go
When temperatures hit 100°F or higher, or remain at or above 95°F for three straight days, a public cooling center is a safe place to escape from extreme heat.
Extreme heat can cause heat stroke, exhaustion, and dehydration. It can also worsen allergies and breathing issues. Older adults, children, people with disabilities or medical conditions, and those without housing are at the highest risk.
