Beginners' Policy

• Be on time and wear comfortable clothing!
• Medical grade face masks required in the school.
• Feel free to bring cold water to help keep you hydrated. Food not allowed.
• Bring your instrument & all necessary supplies such as valve oils, cork, grease, reeds, etc.
• To help prevent the spread of COVID-19, face masks are required when not playing a wind instrument. Also please bring a "puppy pad" or cloth to empty spit and condensation on and a bell cover for your instrument. 
• Bring all music that we are working on.

Weekly rehearsals are on Thursdays, 6:00-8:00 p.m. (access after 5:30) at Val Phillips Memorial High School in Madison. Rehearsals will be cancelled whenever school and evening extra curricular activities are cancelled by the Madison Metropolitan School District.

Because of the growth of the band and the stability of our finances, the Board of Directors has authorized us to begin purchasing our own music, which can cost anywhere from $70 to well over $100 per piece. As we begin the process, we also continue to make grateful use of the Ward-Brodt's New Horizons Band library and the privately owned music of our director.
