The Yorkton Community Concert Band is a non-profit volunteer organization that plays concert band music for recreation and community service in and around the Yorkton area. Our goal is to provide an opportunity for people from Yorkton and surrounding communities to pursue their musical interests. New players are always welcome so if you play a wind instrument or are interested in learning one please come and join us. We get together for rehearsal every Tuesday night at the Yorkton Regional High School in room D5 starting at 7:00 p.m. Jazz band rehearsal follows beginning at 8:45 p.m. If you have any questions regarding our group you can contact our director, Larry Pearen at (306)782-4182 or our president, Grant Hoffman at (306)792-4534 or email us at yccband@gmail.com.

This group was started in 1999 under the name "Yorkton Community Jazz Band" and later changed the name to "Yorkton's Centennial Big Band" in 2004. It consists of members from the Yorkton Community Concert Band as well as other people from the Yorkton area. We play material from the big band era plus songs from the modern day era as well. We also have a feature vocalist, Jackie Washenfelder who performs a number of songs with the group. Last years performances included the "Downtown Jazz and Blues Series" and "A Taste of Yorkton". We are available for bookings and can be reached by contacting our director Larry Pearen at (306)782-4182, or our president Grant Hoffman at (306)792-4534.
