Join the Band

If you are interested in joining the band and play at least at the high school level, send us an email at contactus@aaband.org with your name and instrument.

Once your email has been reviewed by the music director, you will contacted in order to set up an audition time. The Ann Arbor Concert Band strives for a balanced instrumentation and therefore an informal audition is necessary before you join.

Rehearsals

Rehearsals are Monday nights from 7:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. typically beginning the first Monday after Labor Day ending with the Monday following our last concert of the season (when we have our Annual Business Meeting and Potluck).
