Bellevue Community Band

Welcome!

Bellevue Community Band Welcome to the Bellevue Community Band (BCB) in Bellevue, Washington. Founded in 1962, the BCB provides the opportunity for musicians from all backgrounds and training to enjoy the pleasure of playing in a band. The musicians of the BCB represent a broad spectrum of backgrounds including schoolteachers, homemakers, lawyers, caregivers, engineers, students, and senior citizens. The BCB is a non-profit volunteer organization which performs concerts in the Bellevue vicinity. We vary in size from 50 to 80 members, and play outdoor concerts in the warm weather months and indoor concerts year-round.
