A brief history & who we are
Youngstown Area Community Concert Band, referred to as YACCB, was founded in 1983 and began performing in 1984. We are an open community band of 50-plus members who enjoy sharing our love of music. We are a diverse group. Our band ranges in age from high school students to senior-senior citizens. We have both professional musicians and recreational musicians, and we have a variety of occupations represented. We drive in from many counties in eastern Ohio and western Pennsylvania. In all of this diversity, we share a common love of band music. It bonds us. We have fun, and we take our music seriously. We take pride in belonging to YACCB and endeavor to be one of the finest community band programs in northeast Ohio.

Our Conductor
A brief history & who we are
Our Conductor
Since 1990, Joseph "Joe" Pellegrini has been conducting YACCB. That’s a lot of people and a lot of music performed under his direction. YACCB members know that Joe is a quiet guy, easy-going with a dry sense of humor, and very private. At times he shares a little about his family, but mostly not.
Joe’s message: “I want all members, past, present and future, to know how proud I am to stand in front of the YACCB and make music together”. Thanks, Joe. We hope to keep you proud of us and we appreciate your leadership to help us play quality entertaining music for our audiences.
