The band was formally organized in 1978 under the direction of Lambert Morris, who was band director at Beaverton High School. However, the roots of the band can be traced to an earlier time, when interested musicians answered a recruitment ad in the paper and appeared for practice.
The City of Beaverton Mayor’s Office has been a generous supporter of the band since its formal organization. With the help of Mayors Larry Cole through our current Mayor Dennis Doyle, the tradition of city band concerts in the park continues today.
