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.
Our Spring Concert Coming Soon!
Our Spring Concert is scheduled for Friday, April 24, 2026,
starting at 7:30PM. Once again, we are at Gilmore Park United
Church, 8060 No. 1 Road, Richmond. There is plenty of free parking
in the lower parkade and excellent accessibility. Admission is by
donation. Your generous donations provide the Band with the
necessary operating funds for the Band, such as
rehearsal space and music purchase.
Our Music Director, Cheryl McHugh has chosen an exciting and entertaining program that we're sure you will enjoy.
(Thanks to Tom Lee Music for providing some of the charts we'll be playing.) Mark your calendars
now and bring a friend for a delightful, musical evening.
