Our Two Groups

To best serve our members' needs and create the most supportive environment, we have two distinct ensembles:

Teen Ensemble (Ages 13-17)

Adult Ensemble (Ages 18+)

A fantastic opportunity for young musicians to develop their skills, build confidence, and enjoy the camaraderie of a band. Perfect for school musicians looking for extra playing time or those wanting to try something new!.

Rediscover your love for music! This group is ideal for adults who miss playing, want to learn a new instrument, or simply want to be part of a creative and social musical outlet.

Our Sessions and Fees

Ready to play? Our weekly rehearsals are two hours of pure musical fun on a weekday evening. The small $20 fee per session is what allows us to pool our resources and secure everything we need like a practice space and a fantastic library of music. Think of it as your ticket to an awesome weekly music session!
