3. Do I have to pay for my uniform? 

No, uniforms will be distributed on the day of an event and must be returned afterwards. Costs associated with maintaining the uniforms are covered by the membership fee. 

4. How much are membership fees? 

Membership fees are $40 yearly. This covers the cost of practice space, transport to/from events, instructional costs, music, and maintenance of uniforms and instruments. Provided your folio, lyre, uniform and/or instrument is returned undamaged, your deposit will be refunded at the end of the year. 

5. Is the commitment manageable with a full course load? 

Yes! Rehearsals are only once a week and happens after class hours. All members are full-time students from all years and all faculties. Course load ranges from 5 to 7 courses per term, and many members are involved with additional clubs outside of band. 
Band is a great way to unwind after a long school day, and many members find that the regular rehearsals help break up their week. It's also a great way to develop close friends and study partners, acting as a supportive environment for all students!

2. Do I have to bring my own instrument? 

No! If you don't own an instrument, we will provide wind instruments and marching percussion.
