The Banda Dona Gabriela is a brass band from São João da Boa Vista - SP, with over 80 years of existence, that regularly performs in the central square of the city. Like many community music groups, the Banda Dona Gabriela halted its activities during the Covid-19 pandemic, resuming them in a different way only in May 2022. In this article, we present the history and an ethnography of the band’s activities with the aim of analyzing the impacts and challenges that the pandemic had on the group. Drawing on the concept of Communities of Practice, we analyze the ensemble’s everyday practices and identify endemic tensions in community groups, which, as we argue, were exacerbated by the pandemic.
