This band is free for all participants. There are no tuition fees, music is supplied music stands are supplied (though you might want to get a wire one to use at home($14).We also have a good number of instruments that are available for participants that need one to use for the duration of the program.
Though this program is open to everyone in the area the grant is specifically for the southside so they get first choice of instruments then we will open that up for more distant participants. Some instruments were purchased by the society, some were donated or left to us it took many years to collect them all. This summer we are doing maintenance on them.
The program runs for 32 sessions (September-March- ish)

The band season started September 12th , though you may join at any time. I sometimes restrict membership in order to keep the band in balance.
Cost is $233 for each of the 3 terms 700 for the year. No adjustments for partial attendance. In the event of any disruption meetings continue online.
The main band is from 400-600 pm on Thursdays at the 1st Baptist Church on 5th Ave.
A huge thank you to 1st Baptist Church for helping make this possible.
This band I am proud to say is now an advanced group. A dedicated group interested always in improving and refining. It's better than fun, it's rewarding, meaningful and gratifying, Last year we performed Mozart's Figaro Overture and a mov from the Symphony 39.
