UBACE BAND
Bucks Alliance for Creative Expression (UBACE) was formed to enrich the lives of people in the communities of Upper Bucks County and surrounding areas. We provide young people with opportunities that enable awareness of, appreciation for, and active participation in the performing arts in a safe, drug-free environment.
UBACE is open to students in grades 6-12. We welcome musicians, singers, artists, actors, photographers, songwriters and anyone interested in graphic, performing and recording arts.

BECOMING A MORE ENGAGING & PROFESSIONAL PERFORMER?
The UBACE Band is a year-round experience for members who have a strong desire to perform frequently and in smaller venues. Since UBACE Band members practice and play year-round, they develop a much stronger camaraderie and friendship. We also see the artistic growth of these band members skyrocket in a very short time.
The UBACE band plays at small venues throughout Upper Bucks and allows members the opportunity to perform frequently. We have performed at town carnivals and outings, home and organization get-togethers, and more!
Band practice is held every Wednesday night from:
6 PM - 8 PM
First United Church of Christ - Social Hall
151 South 4th Street
Quakertown, PA 18951
The parking lot and Social Hall are accessed from the parking lot on 4th Street.
Please come to band practice with
any equipment necessary to participate
(ex: guitar & amp). Thank you!
OUR MUSIC DIRECTOR
The UBACE Band is under the direction of Levi Longacre. Levi has been a musician for over 11 years, dabbling in piano, bass, and drums but ultimately being proficient as a singer and guitarist. His experience was molded through a number of local bands, including The Offswitch, Turtlefuzz, and Wizkicker, as well as through his studies at Berklee College of Music. After joining in 2015 as a band member, Levi has been a part of UBACE ever since, currently serving as the Music Director. Levi enjoys leading the UBACE band members, inspiring them just as he was inspired when he was a band member and he’s excited to guide the band in their journeys as musicians. While also keeping in mind the importance of learning music at band practice, Levi wants to make sure every band member gets their moment to shine and to have fun (of course).
