Membership in the Tippecanoe Community Band is open to the community.
It is not necessary to audition for membership. However, persons interested in joining the band should have benefited from the experiences of playing in a band during their school days or else having similar experiences playing in a group in order to have a reasonable, basic understanding of music and also to have experience in ensemble playing. New members should be willing to play the 2nd and 3rd parts until their level of proficiency can be determined relative to other members of their section in order to assign parts properly.
Some of our current members joined the band at a time when they had not played their instrument for a few years. However, within a few weeks they were "back in shape" and able to handle their parts well.
If you still have questions and wish to speak to someone about joining the band, contact us to be put in touch with someone by sending an Email to: [email protected] or complete the form below. Otherwise, check the rehearsal schedule and bring your instrument.
