pipers wanted--no experience needed

How the process works-

Members must be in good physical shape and able to march in extended parades/shows during all months of the year. We take pride in maintaining a standard skill level to participate in our organization. Your skill level and ability to meet this standard will be evaluated by our Pipe Major or Lead Drummer. If you do not meet the minimum skill level to play with our performance or competition band, we encourage you to continue to build your skill and arrange a future audition for our organization.

Your Membership Audition

We suggest preparing with any four-part tune to be played while marching. Please be prepared to demonstrate how to properly tune and maintain your instrument.

The next step is to schedule an audition with a band representative to evaluate your skill level and ability to play with the band.  We are not looking for perfection.

Once you have completed your audition, your scores will be evaluated and sent to the Board of Directors (BOD) for consideration for membership to the band. The BOD will make their decision not only on your playing ability but other factors relevant to making a good addition to the band.

If you are accepted as an active playing band member, you will then be registered with the band and your annual dues of $75 are due within 30 days of acceptance. Annual dues are assessed each October 1.  If you are not accepted as an active playing member you may be placed in Student status. There are no annual fees for students. Students do not perform publicly with the band, and have limited participation at rehearsals, and are not issued uniform components. Students may re-audition on a date at the discretion of the Pipe Major or Less Drummer. 

Outside instruction is highly encouraged and the responsibility of the student. 

Our band offers very limited instruction but can refer you to Instructors at the students expense.

Once your application has been submitted, you will receive contact phone numbers for you to call to schedule your audition. We are excited to have received your application and look forward to seeing you soon!  Best of luck with your audition.
