Reminders
All rehearsals are mandatory. If you can’t attend, please contact Cindy Berry at cberry1314@gmail.com.
We can’t achieve the necessary ensemble balance and fluency without all members so please make this a priority.
On the day of our concerts, we will meet to rehearse at 12:30 pm in Bailey Hall, warm-up and have a short rehearsal. The Concerts will start promptly at 2:00pm.
Concert dress is all black. Tuxedos aren’t necessary but black shirts, black slacks, black socks and shoes are appropriate for the men. The women should wear a black top and black slacks, or a long black dress or skirt with black shoes.
Please remember that after each rehearsal and concert everyone needs to stack their chair and stand in the appropriate racks backstage. All percussion should be stored in an organized fashion backstage as well.
* For all newbies and returning members: Enter from the south side parking lot where the walkway leads to the lobby of Bailey Hall - enter through the glass doors to the left of Bailey Hall Lobby - continue on through two sets of solid doors - after the second set of solid doors, look for double doors to your left which leads to a stairwell. Go up three levels to the first door on the left - you have arrived!
The Broward Symphonic Band is a COMMUNITY group that meets at Broward College Central Campus in Davie, Florida. Membership is made up of approximately 125 members with ages ranging from teens to eighties.
The Band provides opportunities for our musicians to perform challenging band literature at the highest level for the enrichment of the membership and community.
Rehearsals are held once a week on Monday evenings from 7:00pm to 9:30pm (2 1/2 hours). We perform four concerts between October and May in the beautiful Bailey Concert Hall.
Membership is open to all college students and adults, with instrumental experience, wishing to participate in a wind band ensemble. Auditions may be required for placement within certain sections to achieve a well balanced performing ensemble.
High School students are welcome to join the group, but must commit to all rehearsals and concerts in order to earn Community Service Hours. An audition (sightreading & scales) will be required of all new members joining the group. Those high school students currently a member of the Broward Symphonic Band will not be required to audition, except in cases to better place those individuals within certain sections of the ensemble
The Band is affiliated with Broward College and may be taken as a course for 1 credit hour.
