About our Band

The Waterloo Concert Band continues a long tradition of amateur community and military bands in Southwestern Ontario.

We are a charitable musical organization whose membership averages 60 active players ranging from teens to older adults.

We take part in around two-dozen performances annually, including civic occasions (such as Remembrance Day), retirement community programs, a Summer Concert Series in Waterloo Park, two major public concerts (December and May) and other special events – all of them presented free of charge to the community.

The WCB prides itself on high morale, an enthusiastic group work ethic, and a friendly environment. We welcome anyone with a desire to play regularly in a large ensemble and explore a wide variety of music. We do not charge membership fees or hold auditions. Our member guidelines are minimal and common-sense, like taking care of sheet music and attending enough rehearsals to make our engagements the best they can be for both players and audiences.

From September through June, we rehearse most Monday evenings (except statutory holidays) from 7:30-9:30 pm in the Community Room on the second floor of the Community Pavilion at the Waterloo Recreation Complex.
(The Pavilion is located behind the main building. Take the entrance off Father David Bauer Drive, and drive under the overhead walkway; the Community Pavilion is on the right.  The main entrance faces the parking lot; take the stairs or elevator to the second floor.)

The Waterloo Concert Band welcomes new players, volunteer helpers and financial donations (tax-receipted) to supplement our ongoing community programs. If you are interested in being part of our musical family, please contact us.

We look forward to meeting you!
