About Us:

The Corvallis Community Band (Corvallis, Oregon, USA) is a musical organization, open to any one who plays a band instrument with at least high school level ability.  The Band's purpose is two-fold: to provide concerts for the enjoyment of the community and to provide a friendly, high-quality musical organization for people who want to continue playing music with other like-minded people. Band members' ages range from 15 to over 80.

The band, a town fixture in the 1920's, was reformed in 1976 in connection with local celebrations of the Bicentennial.  The group has continued to meet ever since. During the school year, the band rehearses weekly, and presents several public concerts.  In 1980, the band established the weekly summer concert series.  Every Tuesday evening from mid-June to the end of August, the band plays an hour-long concert in Central Park that is free to the public who attends.  Audiences for these concerts fluctuate with the weather, but have ranged from 300 - 500 people.  The band also plays to a large crowd just prior to the fireworks display on the Corvallis riverfront for the Fourth of July celebration when they present stirring patriotic music.
