ASB Guest Important Information

Please review the following information regarding ASB's guest musician policies.

I understand that I may participate in any ASB rehearsals as a guest except the two weeks preceding any concert.

I understand that membership in ASB is by invitation only at the discretion of the Section Leader and Music Director.

Member Policies & Dues

ASB's season runs from late August to July 4th and includes 3 indoor season concerts, and 4-5 outdoor concerts: Fall Concert, Mother's Day, Father's Day and Fourth of July.

All members will be assessed annual dues of $100 per season. Members joining after January 1st will pay half dues. Members who are delinquent paying dues are prohibited from playing at concerts.

Members of the band are expected to make reasonable efforts to attend as many rehearsals as possible. When a player knows they will not be able to attend a rehearsal, they should notify their section leader. Multiple unexcused absences may result in membership termination. A musician who misses both of the normal rehearsals directly before a concert cannot perform in the concert without the express approval, in advance, of the music director.

Please review the ASB Member Handbook for more information.
