What is SummerBand?

Summer Band is a series of 10 rehearsals held on Wednesday nights from June through August at Concordia Lutheran Church in Macungie, with a concert showcasing our accomplishments at the final rehearsal on August 16. All ages, all band and orchestra instruments, and all levels of ability are welcome. Keep those lips, lungs and fingers in shape during school break, or pick up the instrument you haven’t played since high school and come join us!
Two playing groups will be offered -
FOUNDATION BAND - is for players with minimal experience. It meets from 6:00 - 7:00.
ADVANCED BAND - is designed for players who are comfortable with playing more challenging music. This group meets from 7:15 - 8:30.
While the Directors have the final say in your Band placement, we encourage you to indicate your own preference on the application form.
Check your calendars now—rehearsal dates are June 14, 21, 28, July 5, 12, 19, 26, August 2, 9, and 16.

HOW DO I JOIN?

and register online.
WHAT ABOUT...?
Instruments - Bring your own, borrow one from the school or a friend/relative, or rent one from a local music store (Nazareth Music, Montero Music, Dave Phillips and West End are some of your options). Concordia has no instruments for use.
Stands - Please bring your own music stand. If you don’t have one, any of the music stores listed above have them for sale.
Vacations - What is summer for if not for a break? SummerBand is designed for you to miss up to two rehearsals and still learn the music. All participants are required to sign the PLEDGE to attend at least 8 of the 10 rehearsals at the first meeting. Take your time off whenever you need. More than two absences will require playing for the Director in order to participate in the concert.
Music - Music, music folders and pencils will be provided.
Cost - A $20 registration fee is required of all participants, to help defray the cost of rehearsal space, and to enable us to rent extra percussion equipment. Payment is due at the first rehearsal, or you can mail it in with your registration.
