Rehearsals

Rehearsals start promptly when scheduled. In order for you to be prepared, you must be set up, warmed up, and in your seat by the scheduled rehearsal start time.

You will need to bring a music stand to rehearsals at First United Methodist Church. Brass players, please bring a rag suitable for draining water from your instrument.

Concerts

You will need to bring a stand and chair to each concert. Please bring either clothespins, a small sheet of plexiglas, or music clips to all outdoor concerts.

Concerts start promptly when scheduled.

If bad weather threatens before an outdoor concert, we will meet at the outdoor concert location anyway. The band leadership will decide whether to relocate to an indoor location and someone will be left at the outdoor location until the scheduled concert time to redirect performers and audience to the alternate location.

Outdoor concert dress consists of tan pants and a golf shirt or button shirt of any solid color but white. If the temperature is expected to be above 85 degrees, tan shorts may be substituted for tan pants.

Indoor concert dress will depend on the occasion. For formal occasions, wear black pants (or skirt) and white shirt. No tie, please. For informal occasions, wear tan pants and a golf or button shirt of any solid color but white.

Music

If you plan to miss a rehearsal or concert, please leave your music in the music box at the previous rehearsal or concert. If you forget to leave your music in the box before you miss a rehearsal or concert, you must contact a fellow band member or a committee member and make arrangements to get your music to the rehearsal or concert.
