The Piedmont Prime Time Community Band
is now in its 6th annual season with many opportunities available to you
and fellow band musicians.
First, we would like to extend
an invitation for all band musicians to join with us in rehearsals and
performances. It has already been an exciting past five years as the band
continues to grow at a phenomenal rate. Please come and be a part of this
wonderful experience! No auditions are ever required.
Second, The Piedmont Prime Time Community Band is scheduling concert
performances for the Spring season. Everyone is invited to attend these
public performances.
If you are interested in joining the Piedmont Prime Time Community Band,
please e-mail us at info@primetimeband.org or call the Band Director or Band President in the 'Contact Us' section.
Who
can Join?
Membership in the Piedmont Prime Time Community Band is open to adult
members of the local community with prior musical training. High school
students and other students may join at the discretion of the Band
Director. No audition is required for membership at this time.
When
and Where are Rehearsals?
Rehearsals are held weekly on Thursday evenings from 7:00 AM until
8:45 PM in the Fellowship Hall of Trinity United Methodist Church at 416 E. 1st Street,
Kannapolis, NC 28023 - which is located directly across from A.L. Brown
High School in Kannapolis.
What
Do I Bring?
Interested members should bring their own instrument (dust-free,
please) or arrange for an instrument with the Band Director prior to
rehearsal. Also, members are required to own a
portable music stand for performances and/or practice sessions.
What
Does it Cost?
Membership dues are currently at $20 per member, per semester. These
dues help cover the cost of rehearsal space, custodial time, music, and
basic supplies.
What Do I
Wear?
Typical performance attire is black clothes below the waist and white
clothes above the waist. Wear comfortable clothing to rehearsals as the
temperature in the band room tends to rise throughout rehearsal.
What
happens if the weather is bad for rehearsals or concerts?
Rehearsals and concerts may be cancelled in the event of severe
weather, poor road conditions, or other circumstances. The Director and
President are responsible for making the decision to either cancel or move
a rehearsal. Efforts will be made to notify band members by e-mail or
phone. Local news stations WBTV Channel 3 and WSOC-TV Channel 9 will also be
notified.
If
conditions improve throughout the day, then rehearsals will be held in the
Fellowship Hall of Trinity United Methodist Church at 416 E. 1st Street,
Kannapolis, NC 28023 - which is located directly across from A.L. Brown
High School in Kannapolis. |
