We are very excited that you are interested in being part of the band!
FAQ: Q: Why do some new members switch instruments? A: Typically, anyone who switches or learns a new instrument will learn a low woodwind or low brass. These are instruments like the baritone, tuba, or baritone sax. There is a need for lower instruments, because they fill out the band’s sound and help push our scores up at competitions. Q: What are new members expected to purchase? A: ALL Brass and Woodwinds: Marching Shoes, 2 pairs of white gloves, Flip folder and lyre Percussion: Marching Shoes, “Wristies"
Guard: Gloves / shoes TBD by Guard Staff
We will make arrangements for B&B Music to attend a camp date for sizing and purchasing of the appropriate items.
