Richardson Community Band

The Richardson Community Brass Band was formed about 1915 or 1916. This organization became an important part of the community's social life. If a member missed a practice and just wanted to play a little while, he would always go over to the barbershop. Newt Harris, the town barber, loved music and was instrumental in organizing the band. There was a bandstand in the vicinity of East Main and McKinney which attracted folks from all around.

The Richardson Community Band was disbanded during both World Wars I & II. In 1970, Joe Frank, director of the Richardson High School Band, reorganized the band and it has been an active part of the community every since.

Today, the Richardson Community Band is a 60 member, all-volunteer adult group comprised of musicians from beginners to those with over 40 years experience. Its mission is to provide quality and challenging musical experiences for its members, while educating and entertaining family audiences in Richardson and the Metroplex.
In addition, the Richardson Community Band is dedicated to providing an opportunity for life-long musical expression and enjoyment, promoting artistic enrichment in our community, and preserving the rich repertoire and cultural history of the wind band. The band offers a friendly and relaxed atmosphere that unites its members through their common love of music, all the while striving for the highest level of musicianship.
