Joining MoBand
Couldn't be easier - show up to our Monday and Wednesday rehearsals! That's it - no audition, no form, no fee, no permission needed. All we ask is that you meet a few criteria including
- Having graduated 8th grade
- Having played on your Band instrument for at least 3 years
- Attend both the Monday and Wednesday rehearsals and Thursday concert
- Bring your Band instrument
- Do your best and have fun!
The music we play is at least Grade 3+ difficulty. We play a lot of pop music, classic rock, medleys of all sorts, movie soundtracks, showtunes, and of course lots of MARCHES! (Who doesn't love a good march???)
Who plays in MoBand? Well we have musicians of all sorts including lots of music educators and professional musicians, high school and college players, community musicians, plus a handful younger players who are interested in a challenge as they move into high school and continue learning to play their instrument.
You can play one week or all six. You can play the first two weeks and the very last week. Anything works - just commit to attending both rehearsals if you are playing the Thursday concert.
