REMINDER - Should you be unable to make a rehearsal and have a folder of music at home, please let the Band Board know and arrange to get the folder to someone or we will schedule a pickup.  Please don't leave us without a folder for rehearsals or concert.

Joining the CCB

Membership in the Community Concert Band is open without audition to all interested instrumentalists 18 years of age or older who play instruments found in the standard concert band configuration.  Membership is on a voluntary basis.  There are no fees to become a member.

High school players may participate in the summer with approval of the Community Concert Band Director.  In Fall and Spring semesters, high school players will be required to have the permissions of both the Community Concert Band Director and the student's high school instrumental director.

At your first rehearsal, be sure to meet with the director or any officer to introduce yourself and provide your contact information!

In Memoriam

The CCB is saddened by the loss of three of its members this year, two double reed players and a percussionist: 

John Schulz, oboe (March 2023), Suzanne Kaehlert, bassoon (May 2023), and Craig Ryan, percussion (June 2023)

All three were long-term members of CCB serving in various roles. Most recently John served as president and Suzanne as treasurer. All three are shown here performing in past concerts with the band. They will be greatly missed.
