Play an Instrument? Consider Joining the WRCB!
The Western Reserve Community Band is a non-professional, not-for-profit community musical organization. Our mission is to provide audiences in Hudson and the surrounding communities with cultural enrichment and entertainment and to provide adult musicians in the area with the opportunity to participate in an active, performing band. We are organized exclusively for charitable and educational purposes.
Membership in the WRCB is open to adult wind and percussion players of all playing abilities through Hudson Community Education and Recreation for an annual participation fee. If you or someone you know is interested in joining our band (no audition required) to make music and have fun, call Band President Arno Kremer, at (330) 819-6383 or check out our web site at www.wrcband97.org. We welcome adult musicians who play a concert band instrument from all surrounding communities in Summit county and adjacent counties/communities.
