About Us
The Reading Civic Concert Band was founded in 1987 as a summer band,
performing concerts in Reading's Memorial Park. In 2003, the band was
expanded to be a concert band, performing year-round, under the
leadership of Lucinda Ellert.

!!!LOGO CONTEST!!!
Reading Civic Concert Band needs a logo! We need a small graphic image that says what we are. For example, there is the fox with it's tail curled around in a circle for the FireFox browser, or the oval with the word Ford for Ford Motor Company. Here are a couple of examples from other bands...
You can find a list of bands similar to ours at the Community Band and orchestra Homepages and you will get plenty of inspiration.
!! AND !!
If your logo is the one that is chosen, not only do you get to see it emblazoned on our website and correspondence, for our summer concert YOU get to conduct the band for Stars & Stripes Forever! Wow!
