Bay Area Community Concert Band

The Bay Area Community Concert Band (commonly referred to as the Bay Area Concert Band or BACB) serves Coos Bay/North Bend and the surrounding communities. It consists of an average of 45 musicians from in and around the Bay Area including Bandon, Coquille, Myrtle Point, and Reedsport. Stephen Simpkins is the director.

The band typically performs five concerts a year, four at the First Presbyterian Church in North Bend and one at Mingus Park. The band annually kicks off the Oregon Coast Music Festival with the concert in the park.

The BACB enthusiastically invites participation from the community as a musician, member of the audience, or a financial contributor to the band. We welcome your support!
