Remember how much fun band was in high school and college? It still is! It doesn’t matter if you haven’t played in five, ten or even twenty years. It really does come back to you. (Trust us, we know from experience.) There are no auditions, just come and play. If you need an instrument, we can help you find one to borrow, rent or purchase. The Band rehearses once a week, Monday nights, with many performance opportunities throughout the year. All band instruments and percussion are welcome. While our Mission includes promoting LGBTQ visibility, our musicians come from every walk of life and all sexual orientations. We are proud of our diversity. Whoever you are, dust off your instrument and join us.
WHO CAN JOIN?
The Freedom Band is a local community band that is open to anyone who plays a concert band instrument.
(To see a list of instruments that play with us, please see our Membership Roster.)
