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.

Another Year Done

We wraped up our year with our annual Friend and Family Night on Monday, December 15, 2025 and start up again January 12, 2026. Same time , same place. We look forward to another successful year of music making. We have a number of new charts to dive into, in part thanks to Tom Lee Music.

Happy New Year to all our supporters.
