The repertoire of the band spans the entire rich spectrum of band music from Gershwin and Copland to Sinatra and Sousa. Our concerts are presented either in the Dean Lesher Regional Center for the Arts, Civic Park or Rossmoor - all in Walnut Creek.

The Walnut Creek Concert Band is the official band of the city of Walnut Creek. In 1987 the City Council selected the organization to be its official band to promote community identity and to enrich civic pride by providing free and low cost concerts to the community. (See Concert Schedule). The primary objectives of the band are as follows: to present free and low cost concerts to the public, to educate the public in the wide variety of concert music, to establish an environment for musicians to maintain and improve their skills and to provide an official band for the city of Walnut Creek.

On September 1, 1999 the band became a California public benefit corporation and on April 19, 2000 was determined a 501 (c)(3) tax-exempt organization, ID #68-0447227. CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE BAND ARE TAX DEDUCTIBLE as provided in Section 170 of the Internal Revenue Code. Please mail your contributions to the WCCB, PO Box 5541, Walnutcreek, CA 94596-1541. Your donation is even more valuable if you are eligible for a matching gift program.
