Yes, brass players must bring their own instruments. to keep costs as low as we can, we cannot provide instruments. If you don't have one, ask your director if you can use one from your school.


No! The Blue Cadets only rehearse during the day so you can go home afterwards. 


Possibly. We will work around band schedules but this corps comes second to your band. If you need to skip a practice, it won't be held against you.
