Requirements
  • We prefer you are able to read music.  Members must be 18 and older. Special allowances may be
    made for those younger on a case-by-case basis.
  • Try to bring a music stand or instrument music lyre.
  • You need to own your own instrument, or make arrangements to rent one. We may have a lead on a
    loaned instrument or a special rental arrangement, so talk to us about larger or unusual instruments.
  • If you have not played in years, don’t worry! Our musicians have a wide range of skills. Many are having
    fun while catching up on their music skills, or even learning new instruments.
  • Two musical rehearsals and one marching rehearsal are required prior to a parade. Requirements for
    participation in a concert are TBD.
  • Annual membership dues are $25/year with a $15/year Pride uniform fee
Again, don't worry if you have not played in years. We want to make membership in our group a fun musical
experience for all levels of playing ability!
