YACCB is an organization of volunteers dedicated to the continuation of a community band program in Youngstown, Ohio
2022 Christmas Season
A message from our Conductor
Hello friends, followers, and newcomers to the official site of the YACCB. We had a great year of concerts featuring Ohio composers. Not a single rain-out, except for Mercer, Pa. But that one is always moved indoors. Another highlight of the summer was our appearance on the Casey Malone Show. After a 6 week break we began our rehearsals preparing for the 2022 holiday season.
The feature concert is the annual Holiday Concert Of Giving, a benefit for the Second Harvest Food Bank. This year the event is Sunday December 11, at Stambaugh Auditorium. There is a change in the time of the concert - 2:30, and not our usual 4:00. So please make a note of this change! This concert features the outstanding Stambaugh Chorus, directed by Dr. Hae-Jong Lee, as well as our YACCB. I will be playing a solo with the band and I have also written a new arrangement for the two groups to perform together. Since this dual volunteer group format started in 2011, we have raised $43,000 for the Food Bank. If you have attended this concert in the past, bring a friend or more family members to join you. With your generosity we can exceed the $50,000 mark!
Other concert dates are set: St. Luke's Church on Saturday December 3, and at the Eastwood Mall on Thursday December 15. All of our concerts appear on the website's calendar. We hope to see you at our Stambaugh Concert and possibly others.
Thank you for your continued support of the YACCB, as we start our 40th year.
