There's a Seat for You
The Alumni Band welcomes adult musicians of all skill levels โ no auditions, no pressure. Just a love of music and a welcoming group of people who feel the same way.

You're a School Alum
Former high school or college band students who miss playing in an ensemble โ this is exactly why we exist.
Your Instrument is Dusty
Haven't played in years? That's okay. Many of our members returned after decades away. You'll find your footing quickly.
You're a Music Educator
Teachers and music professionals who want to stay active in an ensemble outside of their work life.
