Let's Go!

It’s August and that means it’s September and THAT means it’ll soon be time to fire up the band!

First rehearsal is Sept 30.

What can you do? First, get your upgrades done; that new mouth piece or head joint? A full box of reads, lubes, oils, all of those things can be procured now.

Second, talk up the band. We have openings in every section. I’d like to hit the ground running with a full band on Sept 30. If you are unable to play this fall, I look forward to having you back in the group when your schedule allows. Please let me know if you won’t able to take part this term, that will help me focus my recruiting.

Third! Register for the class(es). See Below ⬇️

To register online, you can login to your MyTVCC account -> "Students" -> "Online Registration" -> (class option are list next)

There are two ways to register for any of the band/choir classes. One is as a community class that costs $30/term. The other is as a for-credit class that costs $154/credit (Jazz is listed as a 2-credit class).

Class Community Certificate Seeking

Jazz Band MUP 053 OA MUP 205 OA

Concert Band MUP 053 OE MUP 202 OA

Non-certificate seeking (community band members) should enroll in the 0xx classes. Lastly, certificate seeking students can qualify for some pretty good scholarships/grants to cover the cost. Talk to me, if that's you!

There is a bit of inadvertent misinformation on class times. All bands rehearse on stage at TVCC Tuesday evenings; concert band at 6p and jazz is after that at approximately 7:30p ending at 9pm.

I appreciate Pat and Garry for drawing my attention to this and helping me to clarify.

If you would like to submit a physical registration form to register for classes, you can fill it out and bring it to our Student Services Centers in Ontario or Caldwell. https://resources.tvcc.cc/file_manager/download.cfm?file=1271
