JOIN THE BAND! - Get out your instrument and come play! There are no auditions for our band. We require that musicians have graduated the 8th grade and have had usually 4-5 years of music education to be successful. We play Grade 3 music and higher - typically what you would play in high school and college, but with a slant towards pop music, marches, oldies but goodies, classics, rock 'n roll, and movie music - plus a lot more!
We do not provide any instruments. Borrow one from your school over the summer. Most high schools and colleges have instruments for enrolled students. Percussionists should bring a snare drum and sticks. There are always a lot of accessory instruments in our percussion section that need to be played, too.
