The Comox Valley Concert Band has been around for 78 years, making it one of the Valley’s longest-running musical organizations. They’re a community ensemble featuring brass, woodwind, and percussion instruments, performing concert band repertoire throughout the year. If you’ve been to local concerts, you’ve probably heard them, they have an active performance schedule and share recordings of their shows.

The band is associated with Performing Arts Comox Valley and welcomes community members at various skill levels. They’re actively looking for new members, so if you played an instrument in school and have been thinking about picking it up again, or if you’re currently playing and want to join an ensemble, they’re open to it. You can reach them via email to ask about joining.

They maintain an archive of concert photos, audio, and videos, and have upcoming performances listed on their website. It’s the kind of community music group that keeps going because people show up, practice together, and put on shows for the Valley.
