Membership Guidelines

This is an adult band. Membership is open to those who have graduated from high school or have attained the age of high school graduation.
It is the intent of the Board of Directors and the Musical Director to build and maintain the proper instrumentation for a concert band of between 70 and 75 members. This means we will need to maintain approximately the following instrumentation:

9	Flutes
2	Oboes
2	Bassoons
12	Soprano Clarinets
2	Bass Clarinets
3	Alto Saxophones
1	Tenor Saxophones
1	Baritone Saxophone
9	Trumpets
8	French Horns
9	Trombones
3	Baritones/Euphoniums
4	Tubas
1	String Bass
7	Percussion

If the relationship between instruments in the above instrumentation guideline is threatened due to an overabundance of any of the instruments, then auditions will be held by the Musical Director or his designee to select the most musically proficient players wishing to join the band.
