Welcome to Youngstown Area Community Concert Band
Welcome to Youngstown Area Community Concert Band
YACCB is an organization of volunteers dedicated to the continuation of a community band program in Youngstown, Ohio
Thank you for a good Summer Concert Season 2022
It was nice to be back in full swing again!
Thank you to our friends, followers, attendees, musicians, conductor, and all who made this summer a success. As a summary, here is what we did:
Summer 2022, we performed music about Ohio, written by Ohio composers, arrangers, and musicians. The theme "Celebrating Ohio Music and Ohio Composers" featured pieces written or arranged by Henry Fillmore, Clare Grundman, James Swearengen, and others. Other selections were about Ohio or Ohio cities. We performed quite a variety of music celebrating The Buckeye State with program changes from concert to concert.
Plans are being made for our Christmas season. You will see details here as they develop. As always the highlight of our entire year is our annual Concert Holiday of Giving which will take place at Stambaugh Auditorium with the Stambaugh Chorus. The concert this year is scheduled for Sunday, December 11 and will begin at 2:30pm, a change from the 4pm time of previous years. Please note that in your calendar so you don't miss it! What is not changing is that 100% of ALL money collected goes to 2nd Harvest Food Bank. Stay tuned!

Ohio State football fans LOVE when the band swings into this song! Do you ever wonder how this one song changes one of the nation's most traditional, military marching-style band into a swinging and swaying show-style band?
“To stop the flow of music would be like the stopping of time itself, incredible and inconceivable.” ― Aaron Copland
YACCB Featured on the Casey Malone Show
Prior to our concert at Boardman Park on July 7, 2022, Casey Malone interviewed Conductor Joe Pellegrini. The segment aired on her show Saturday, July 16 at 7pm on WFMJ, and Sunday, July 17 at 7am on WBCB.. Casey and her staff did a superb job interweaving the interview with our concert music. A link to the show's segment will be available here when she posts it to her website.
Thank you to Casey, her staff, the audience, and all of our friends and families for your support and encouragement. We love sharing our music with you, and trust it has enriched your life!
Joe Pellegrini and Casey Malone
Keep the music alive!
