Membership and dues

Established members of CPCB continue automatically as band members each September 1 unless there has been an agreement initiated by a member or the CPCB Director to terminate the membership. Dues are assessed once a year for the period beginning September 1 through August 31 of the next year and remain $30 for the 2007-08 season.

As of Sept. 1, 2003, musicians invited to join the band after the start of any season will pay a pro-rated fee. Voting privileges are extended to band members whose dues are paid. Student members do not pay dues and, therefore, do not vote on business issues of the band.

In addition to dues, membership in CPCB requires that you purchase our dress-white shirt with shoulder patch and epaulets plus the informal blue-knit shirt with the band logo embroidered on it. Special concert attire may be requested in the form of formal black tie and tuxedo or suit for men and black dresses or pants suits for women. Rosemary Ward is the band Quartermaster and can answer your questions about attire.

Rehearsals, performances and music folders

Unless otherwise stated in the monthly information bulletin, rehearsals are held every Thursday evening, 7 to 9:30, in the Music Room of San Juan High School, 7551 Greenback Lane, Citrus Heights, California 95610. We appreciate your efforts as volunteer musicians to attend the CPCB rehearsals. If you must be absent, please notify your section leader and, whenever possible, call someone from the CPCB substitute list to take your place at the missed rehearsal. Members are expected to attend concerts. The call for the concerts is 30 minutes before the downbeat. If you must miss a scheduled performance, please plan to have a substitute for your part.

To qualify as a performance substitute, a person must have rehearsed with the band at one of the two rehearsals prior to the scheduled concert. The Director may approve exceptions to this request.

Out-of-area performances will be agreed upon by a vote of the band members. Any expenses incurred on such a trip will be the responsibility of individual band members.

You are welcome to take your music folders home to practice the music, but these must be returned to the next rehearsal without fail. Please do not mark the music in your folder with anything but the provided pencil. Highlight your own copies ... for the most part, this is NOT our music.

Music and seating arrangements for the band are determined by agreement of the Director and section leaders. All section leaders are chosen by the Director. Decisions on solo work in any section are ultimately the responsibility of the Director.
