Beaverton Community Band (BCB)

The Beaverton Community Band is an all-volunteer group of 75 adult musicians who share a love for concert band music and a desire to pass that appreciation on to the public. A wide variety of band literature, including marches, symphonic transcriptions, easy listening pops, swing, patriotic, and holiday tunes is played at the weekly rehearsals and public performances.

The band is directed by Dr. John Keil Richards whose many music credentials include serving as principal tubist in the Oregon Symphony for 52 years, conducting “TubaChristmas” in Portland’s Pioneer Square, and directing the Symphonic Band for the Metropolitan Youth Symphony. The Beaverton Community Band usually presents three seasonal public concerts at area schools, performs at retirement centers, and participates in the annual Oregon Adult Band Festival. During the summer, you’ll often find the band at community events such as the Flag Day ceremony at Griffith Park and concerts on the lawn of the Beaverton City Library.

If you are interested in joining the band, please call Jim Squires at (503) 246-3260 or Roger Langdon at (503) 653-5452. New members are welcome!
