MEMBERSHIP

Symphonic Artistry is a tight-knit community of musicians and friends, and we are always looking for new members. We welcome all musicians who seek the opportunity to perform concert band music beyond high school. If you’re interested in joining us, please fill out the interest form and we will contact you.

Although no audition is required to become a member, all new members are subject to an evaluation period.

We currently have openings in the following sections:

**If you play an instrument not listed above, please contact us anyway.

Time Commitment

All members should plan to attending weekly rehearsals.. Rehearsals are on Thursday and start promptly at 7:00 pm and end at 9:00. We rehearse at Kempsville Presbyterian Church in Virginia Beach. Other rehearsals, such as dress rehearsals and sectionals, may be scheduled as needed.  All members are expected to practice as necessary to learn assigned parts. Perfect attendance at either rehearsals or performances is not required, but will be noted to guide us with recruitment and sizing. Please notify your section leader as much in advance as possible if you will miss a performance.

Concerts

Around five concerts a year are given in various community facilities in the Hampton Roads area. Performances are generally on weekends.

Concert Dress

Symphonic Artistry short sleeve polo (or plain burgandy), black slacks (or shorts for very hot outdoor weather), black shoes with appropriate color belt. Hats at outdoor performances: (including full brim) preferably beige or a neutral color.
