Join Us
The Southern Oregon Concert band encourages qualified musicians to join the band. Southern Oregon Concert Band is a solid Grade 3-Grade 4 band. We encourage prospective members to join at the beginning of a rehearsal cycle for an up-coming concert; September 13th 2011, November 15th 2011, January 24th 2012, April 3rd 2012. Prospective members will rehearse with the band for four weeks then undergo an evaluation by the section leader and conductor. After the initial 4 weeks prospective members will either be invited to join the band as a regular member if a there is a need in their section for additional players, invited to join a sub list if their section already has enough players or invited to try again in the future if it has been determined that their current skill level doesn't fit with the demands the selected repertoire. Once accepted into the band we ask that you attend all rehearsals and we appreciate your loyalty and hope to have you around for a long time.
At this time we have a particular need for: a 2nd Oboe, 2nd Bassoon, Horn Players, 2nd Tenor Sax, Baritone Sax, and Percussionists.
We rehearse every Tuesday from 6:45 to 8:45 at the Ashland Middle School on Walker Ave. in Ashland. We present 4 concerts a year. Our annual Veteran's Day concert is on November 11th, the remaining concerts are on Thursday nights beginning at 7pm in December, March and May.
