RYCB Association
Parents of Band members are members of the Richmond Youth Concert Band Association (a not for profit society registered in BC). The Association is also open to past Band members and members of the community who do not have children in the Richmond Youth Concert Band.
The purpose of the Association is to support the Band by taking care of administrative and financial matters including registration as well as organizing events. The Association organizes the RYCB concerts such as the Food Bank Benefit Concert, the Spring Concert and the Music for Moms Concert. The Association organizes the Fall Retreat and the Winter Workshop. In addition, the Association provides bursaries and scholarships for Band members.
The Association meets monthly at Palmer Secondary School during the Band practice time. All parents of Band members are encouraged to be active in the Association and attend meetings. RYCB depends on volunteers. Volunteering provides an opportunity to support the band, get to know each other and build a stronger community.
