The WCCB Mandate
The goals of the WCCB are to bring musicians with a wide variety of experience together and share in a creative and enjoyable musical endeavour. We have members ranging in age from early 20s to over 80.
The Westshore Community Concert Band is a volunteer community band for the Westshore, giving musicians with three or more years of experience an opportunity to share in a creative and enjoyable musical endeavour, and providing musical support for community events, especially in Colwood, Langford, Metchosin and View Royal.
2024-2025 Season — 22nd year of operation
Keep an eye on the calendar under under Events for up-to-date rehearsal and performance information. Proposed repertoire for each rehearsal is posted on the calendar.
Rehearsals are held Tuesdays at 7:00 p.m. at the Forge Church, 2612 Sooke Road in Langford, B.C.
Interested in joining us?
The Westshore Band is interested in meeting other wind, brass or percussion players who might be like to become permanent members of the Band.
Clarinets are the violin section of a concert band, so the more the merrier, we have lots of room. We have a full trumpet section, but a pair of French horns would help us cover every instrumental part and make for some really exciting sounds. A second alto sax and tenor sax would be welcome. More hands in the percussion section would, likewise, fill out the sound.
If you have at least 3 years of playing experience and want to be part of a fun, friendly and supportive group, come out and join us.

Upcoming Concert: Saturday November 2, 2024
This concert (the first in a series of three) will be suitable for all ages. The blend of upbeat and contemplative works will make this a wonderful way to spend part of your Saturday afternoon. See Venues for location information.
Proceeds from the concerts will help to ensure that the WCCB is able to continue to be a part of the musical landscape of the Greater Victoria area.
