The Rancho Cordova River City Concert Band is a 501(c)(3) non profit organization made up of approximately 60 volunteer musicians who donate their time and musical talents to present concerts with a broad audience appeal.
The band's repertoire includes traditional concert band literature including popular and modern arrangements, and the occasional orchestral transcription.
It is our desire to present band music before audiences of diverse backgrounds, foster musical interest among children, and provide performance opportunities for skilled community musicians. We strive to provide a rich social environment to those seeking life enrichment through musical interaction with other adult musicians and the community.
Members of the ensemble range in ability from semi-professional musicians and former military band members to members who, for one reason or another, stopped playing after High School or College and have now rediscovered their love of music through rehearsing and performing in a community band.
Members of the audience may inquire about joining the band by approaching the director or any of the members of the band.
The band is pleased to be sponsored by the City of Rancho Cordova (near Sacramento, CA) and is enthusiastically affiliated with the Sacramento Valley Symphonic Band Association (SVSBA) and the Association of Concert Bands (ACB). Performing an average ten concerts a year, Rancho Cordova RCCB remains true to the American Community Band tradition - all of our concerts and performances throughout our year long season are free to the public.
Love Music. Share Music. Make Music.
​The Band's motto says it all. Our love of music is what brings us together and it is our band family's desire to share music before audiences of diverse backgrounds, foster musical interest among children, and provide performance opportunities for skilled community musicians.
We strive to provide a rich social environment to those seeking like enrichment through making music with other adult musicians and the community.
The Rancho Cordova River City Concert Band has continued need for funding throughout the year and relies almost extensively on fundraisers and grants to grow our programs and fulfill our mission.
This summer, we have the honor of being invited to perform at the Association of Concert Band's Regional Connections Event in Sequim, Washington—a fantastic opportunity to represent our community on a new stage and connect with music lovers across the region. To get there, we need to cover transportation, lodging, and logistics for our 60+ dedicated volunteer musicians.
Your tax-deductible donation will do more than fund a trip; it will fuel a musical adventure for our band of dedicated community musicians—from passionate retirees to talented young students. We are proud to serve as musical ambassadors for our city, and this opportunity will foster local pride while proving that community art can have a far-reaching impact. Help us turn this invitation into reality!
The Rancho Cordova River City Concert Band’s mission of providing performance opportunities for community musicians, and free musical performances for our community, is dependent upon creating spaces and opportunities that are inclusive, equitable, and accessible in order to reflect the diversity within our community. We strive to program a diverse repertoire of music, and amplify underrepresented voices. We have demonstrated this by ingeniously incorporating composers, artists, musical guests, puppets, etc. to bring performing arts to life.
It is our belief that creating equitable opportunities and accessible spaces, and programming an array of works by underrepresented composers, are the cornerstones of the development and continued growth of diversity and inclusivity in the arts and arts community.
The RCRCCB does not discriminate based on race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age, ability, education, or background. As part of our ongoing commitment to our membership, our community, and our mission, our board of directors continues to work with our organization and our membership to promote a culture of diversity, accessibility, inclusivity, and equity within the organization, and within the communities that we serve.
