Benny Cruz is a Band Leader at Cruz Brothers Band at Cesar Chavez Academy Elementary. Colleagues describe him as "Benny Cruz is a very talented musician and plays with alma. I danced until my feet and legs no longer allowed me when I heard his band play. He is a terrific band leader and musician." and "I always loved working with Benny. He was always on time, had a smile for everyone and was always so professional when he was hired to perform with any project I managed. He always fit in perfectly and was a real joy to have and in this business of music he was always a real " Stand Out " in my book. He is one of the most reliable musicians I have ever worked with."
