To maintain balanced instrumentation and high-quality performances, we periodically hold auditions for musicians when there are vacancies. The secretary will place individuals who wish to join the Bangor Band in a section that does not have a vacancy on a waiting list and notify them when an opening arises.
We generally hold open rehearsals to fill vacancies in mid-September, January, and May, when each rehearsal continuum begins.
We anticipate our next round of vacancies to include:
- Oboe (1 position)
- Clarinet (2 positions: One on clarinet 2, one on clarinet 3)
- Horn (1 position)
- Baritone Saxophone (1 position)
- Tuba (1-2 positions)
If you have questions regarding the audition procedure, please contact our President, Susan McKay, for more details.
Sue can be reached by email at president@bangorband.org.
