Membership Information:

Members must be able to play an instrument. We do not teach privately or one on one.

Auditions are not required but experience is.  Members must have the ability to read grade 3 music.  While we are here to provide members an outlet to improve their musical abilities, we must require an 8th grade level of playing experience.

Be ready to rehearse/perform at the scheduled time.  This usually means arrriving early enough to set up and warm-up before the start of rehearsal or performance.  Concert call times are provided to give you time to warm up before performance time.  As the old saying goes, "...to be early is to be on time.  To be on time is to be late".

Pay close attention to the conducting and verbal directions of the person on the podium.  Information presented is useful to all in attendance.

Advise your section leader or band manager well in advance of a concert or rehearsal when you will be absent.  Excessive absences negatively impact the band.

Section leaders and chair placements are at the discretion of the director and may occur at any time.  Section leaders are the directors extra set of ears and eyes for the band and therefore can greatly assist with the music and administration of it.  Section leaders have earned their respective positions with many years of faithful service to our organization and they deserve our praise and respect.
