KRON4 Meteorologist John Shrable, who plays the violin, took a break from weather forecasting on Friday to meet the band and capture incredible live performances.

Known as the 'Pride of Pittsburg,' the award winning band has 180 members comprised of young rising musicians. They have performed at Golden State Warriors games in Chase Center, as well as traveled oversees.
Performing on the marching band requires memorizing music by heart. Members perform all songs without sheet music. Led by band director Jennifer Martinez, 'they rehearse nonstop, they take it serious,' Shrable said.
The band will be back on KRON4 July 4, performing for our station's fireworks special, 'KRON4's July 4th Live.'
The band wrote on Instagram, 'We're so excited and grateful for this opportunity to represent Pittsburg and share our band program with the Bay!'

Surge of salmon-craving anglers expected across CA coast over weekend
SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — Officials expect a wave of anglers to visit the California coastline over the weekend as the recreational ocean salmon season opens for the first time following a two-year closure. The recreational ocean salmon fishery will be open for two days on Saturday, June 7, and Sunday, June 8. The daily bag limit is two Chinook salmon per day, with a minimum size of 20 inches in total length, according to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. Due to a low abundance of Chinook, officials are limiting the total recreational harvest in the summer season to 7,000. If the 7,000 Chinook salmon guideline is not met over the June 7-8 weekend, CDFW said another season will open statewide July 5-6, July 31-August 3, and August 25-31, or until the guideline is reached. 'Given the 2-year ocean salmon fishery closure and the short duration of this fishing period, angler participation is expected to be high,' CDFW said. 'Anglers should prepare for crowds and long wait times at public launch ramps and marinas and consider travel, parking, and launch ramp conditions when finalizing plans.' California State Parks doesn't want you collecting sea glass or agates at the beach CDFW field staff will be positioned at dock sites to collect catch and effort information, the department said. The U.S. Coast Guard is encouraging safety on the water and said that due to the anticipated surge of boaters and potential requests for assistance, responses to boating accidents may be delayed. 'All boaters should monitor weather reports and forecasts, heed watches, warnings, or conditions that exceed capabilities of their vessel,' USCG said. 'Additionally, boaters should ensure proper operation of all vessel systems prior to getting underway and ensure carriage of all required equipment and safety gear in accordance with 33 and 46 Code of Federal Regulations.' The Coast Guard said boaters should carry a VHF marine radio for communication. Additionally, all boaters are encouraged to always wear a life jacket and dress for the water temperature, not the air temperature. Sonoma County Regional Parks said that boat launches in the area will be busy and parking lots can fill up by 10 a.m. Boaters should have an alternate destination planned in case a parking lot is at capacity, park officials said. Ocean salmon fishing regulations can be found on the CDFW website. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
