Interested high school students age 15 and older also are invited to join. In addition to having at least one year of prior playing experience, high school students wishing to participate must receive permission from their band director.
Musicians must furnish their own instruments. Some instruments, such as tubas, French horns and percussion, may be available on a limited basis through the band office.
