Welcome to the Richmond Community Concert Band
The Richmond Community Concert Band has an extensive history in Richmond. Formed in 1973 by Branch 5 of the Royal Canadian Legion as the Branch 5 Legion Band, we grew rapidly to the present complement of 35 - 45 musicians, with typical concert band instrumentation (reeds, brass and percussion). Bob Mullett became the Music Director in 1978 and was seen as the driving force behind the Band's development. Today, we are fortunate to have Ms Cheryl McHugh as our Music Director. The Band plays at civic functions in Richmond, such as the Steveston Salmon Festival, the City of Richmond Remembrance Day Ceremony, various public parks concerts, and entertains at seniors' facilities throughout the Lower Mainland.
A Summer's Evening of Music
Join us for a concert on the outdoor plaza at the Minoru Centre for Active Living. If the weather is not cooperating, we'll be in the Multipurpose room in the Centre.
Rehearsals and Performances
The Richmond Community Concert Band rehearses on Monday evenings, 7:30pm to 9:30pm. We rehearse at Richmond Ukrainian Hall (Ukrainian Community Society Of Ivan Franko), 5311 Francis Rd, Richmond, BC V7C 1K2. We usually perform 8-10 times per year, at seniors centres, formal and informal civic functions, and indoor and outdoor public concerts, in Richmond and throughout the Lower Mainland.
