There's a Seat for You
The Alumni Band welcomes adult musicians of all skill levels — no auditions, no pressure. Just a love of music and a welcoming group of people who feel the same way.
You Belong Here If…
We have one requirement: a love of music. Everything else — skill level, how long you've been away, what instrument you play — we'll work with.
You're a School Alum
Former high school or college band students who miss playing in an ensemble — 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.
You Just Love Band Music
If you can read music and want to play in a supportive, friendly group — there's a chair with your name on it.
How to Join
Joining is simple — there's no formal audition process. Here's all you need to do:
Come to a Rehearsal
Show up any Tuesday evening at 6:30 PM at GracePoint Church in Biddeford. You're welcome to sit in and listen, or bring your instrument and play along.
Bring Your Instrument
We play all woodwinds, brass, and percussion — the full traditional concert band lineup. Bring whatever you play and we'll find a spot for you.
Meet the Band
Our members are friendly and welcoming. Introduce yourself before or after rehearsal — we love meeting new faces and hearing people's stories.
Make It Official
If you decide you'd like to become a regular member, we'll get you set up with music and anything else you need. No pressure, no rush.
Rehearsal Details
We rehearse every week, year-round. Come when you can — we're always happy to see you.
You're welcome to come watch a rehearsal before committing. Many of our members did exactly that — and stayed for years. There's no obligation, just an open door.
You can also reach out to our band president with any questions before you visit.
