Thomas Ridley has been the music director of the Huntington Beach Concert Band (HBCB) since 1977.

Under his leadership, HBCB and the Concert Series have continued to flourish — even through difficult economic challenges. The Summer Concert Series was discontinued in the early 2000's due to budget constraints, but, due to Mr. Ridley's commitment, the program was reinstated and has continued to be a highly attended and respected community event.

When City funding for the Huntington Beach Concert Band and Summer Concert Series was discontinued during the early 2000's recession, the Huntington Beach Concert Band members joined together, under the leadership of Tom Ridley, to save the Band and to grow the Concerts in the Park series. Since that time, the community programs have flourished. Tom Ridley, has been music director of the Huntington Beach Concert Band since 1977. In addition to serving the Huntington Beach Community, Mr. Ridley has an array of impressive accomplishments. He has received his BA and MA in music from California State University, Long Beach and proudly served and performed in the 72nd US Army band for three years. He was band director at Miraleste High School in Palos Verdes and in Canyon High School in Anaheim Hills. He later on served as Vice Principal of Norte Vista High School in Riverside. Per Resolution 2004-90, the naming of parks and park features must have the concurrence of the Community Services Commission and City Council. I am therefore recommending that the official naming of the bandstand be referred to the Community Services Commission and brought back to City Council for recommendation. RECOMMENDED ACTION: The task of the official naming the Bandstand at Central Park for Tom Ridley be referred to the Community Services Commission for appropriate research, review and recommendation to the full City Council.
