The Tualatin Valley Community Band (TVCB) is composed of volunteer individuals who have played musical instruments in high school, college and with other groups. Some members had not played for many years, but have listened to TVCB at our free public concerts and joined.

* TVCB
History
The Band started as "The
Big Kids
Band" in September 1988 at Fowler Junior High School. Bob Caster was
the
band director, and the Tigard-Tualatin School District sponsored the
group,
as it does today. Steve Heuser assumed Directorship from Delene Johnson
in the fall of 1991 and under Steve's direction the band became the
TVCB.
The band is open to all ages, however individuals should have the
ability
to read music and own their instruments.
