Our band gives musicians a chance to have fun and make some great music!
- All musicians are welcome regardless of age or experience, as long as you can read music and rehearse on your own. Auditions are not necessary and you do not need to be a Fauquier County resident. If you haven't played in a while, you're welcome to just participate in rehearsals until you feel comfortable performing in concerts. Another alternative for beginners of all ages is the Prince William Beginning Band, a band for 4th graders to adults that offers instruction in most band instruments. Lessons are also available in Warrenton at Drum & Strum and Allegro.
- We welcome all percussion, brass or woodwinds. Brass and woodwind players, please bring an instrument. (Drum & Strum offers instrument rentals.)
- To participate in concerts, you need to attend most rehearsals prior to the concert.
- Contact Rick Crofford at 540-718-2679 for more information.
