Can I be supportive without joining the band?

We are seeking individuals interested in collaborating in the development of additional non-profit ensembles. Collaborators can be musicians, business leaders, and others interested in establishing a program that can offer the physical and mental health benefits that music-making can bring to the mature person.

For specific questions, or to be added to our email list for future updates, please see our Contact page.

If you wish more information on membership, please complete our membership form. Once we have this form, our director and/or president will contact you to provide more information. You may sit in on a rehearsal before becoming a member. After that, you become a member of the band by providing some basic contact information and by paying our membership fee.

Our directors are happy to assist you with choosing the right instrument for you. We also can refer you to resources for renting, rent-to-buy, and purchasing an instrument as well as persons who can offer private lessons. We do have a policy for beginning player who want to join the band which can be found clicking the "Find Out More" button below.

Our goal as a non-profit is to make the cost of membership as reasonable and as high value as possible. We operate on a three-month "session" basis and payment is by the session. See our Fees page for details. If you feel you would benefit from private lessons, these are available from a number of independent teachers who set their own fees, schedules, etc.
