• BEFORE YOUR FIRST VISIT YOU NEED TO KNOW
There are no auditions. Please email us ahead of time to make sure we have music prepared for you. Bring a MUSIC STAND with you.

• MEMBERSHIP
We prefer you are able to read music.

Members must be 21 and older. Special allowances may be made for those younger on a case-by-case basis.

Try to bring a music stand or instrument music lyre.

You need to own your own instrument, or make arrangements to rent one. We may have lead on a loaned instrument or a special rental arrangement, so talk to us about larger or unusual instruments.

If you have not played in years, don’t worry! Our musicians have a wide range of skills. Many are having fun while catching up on their music skills, or even learning new instruments.

OTHER PERFORMANCE GROUPS
We have smalller ensembles which reflect the interest of our members. We currently have BETTER THAN SAX (quartet + combo), and the PARADIDDLERS (purcussion ensemble).
