Who We Are

|
|
|
Founded in 1973, the Honolulu Community Concert Band is a
state & federally recognized tax-exempt 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, comprised of
80 volunteer members who enjoy playing instrumental music and performing for
the community. All walks of life are represented within the HCCB, including teachers, lawyers,
engineers, military personnel, doctors, students, and retirees. New
