2026 Three Rivers Community Band Festival
Saturday, April 11, 2026
YACCB members have participated in this event in the past and have enjoyed the experience.
Three Rivers Community Band Festival will once again feature a Festival Band. This is an ensemble made of individuals from community bands throughout the region. No audition is necessary; players must only complete a registration form and pay a small fee. The goal of the Festival Band is to include as many musicians as possible representing numerous community organizations – and to have a great time making music together!
