Rehearsal Schedule
The brass band rehearses regularly on Wednesday nights from 7PM-9PM at Allisonville Christian Church in Indianapolis. Occasionally, we have rehearsals in the Ruth Lily Concert Hall at the University of Indianapolis. Members are expected to show up on time ready to rehearse every week that they are available. Substitutes are expected to be at the final two rehearsals minimum and should have their music prepared ahead of time. We have a fairly easy process for communicating when members need to miss a concert and/or rehearsal and are flexible around work schedules and other commitments.

We do two Christmas concerts every year and allow band members to wear their normal non-summer attire mixed with holiday flare (Santa hat, elf ears, neck garland, etc.)
