Welcome message from Kevin Biegel

I had the honor of being asked by the Board Members of the Chilliwack Community

Band to conduct the group in January 2022. It has been a bit of a bumpy road coming

out of a pandemic. My hope is to build a core of about 30 strong and to play vast

genres of music, as well as build lasting friendships with members. I see the value of

pulling in high-school students and young adults who played an instrument at one

time. This will bridge any gap and helps us become a multigenerational group of

musicians.

Interested in joining and playing some music?

No audition is necessary, and we encourage musicians to come to a few rehearsals to

get a feel for our group. If it's been 20 years since you've played, that's perfect! 

Dust off your instrument and come join us once a week to benefit from music

therapy.  We're patient, welcoming, and understand that you may feel overwhelmed

at first but we want you to keep coming and push yourself... the skills you once had

will come back!

High School Student memberships are only $1.00 per year. There is potential to earn

extra credits for volunteer hours at your school; talk to your music teacher to see if

our non-profit community band qualifies. 

Rehearsals: every Tuesday 7 pm-9 pm at Cooke’s Presbyterian Church 5825

Wellington Ave, Chilliwack, BC V2P 2E1
