Juneau Student Symphony seeks musicians

Juneau Student Symphony invites adult and student musicians to join together with the band.

Some musical experience and master of fundamentals are required, but the group is open to musicians who may not have played for a while.

Rehearsals are held 6-8 p.m. Tuesdays at Dzantik’i Heeni Middle School, 1600 Renninger St., during the school year with December and May concerts.

Participants can feel free to show up with their instrument ready to play alongside a friendly community of musicians. Music and registration forms will be supplied at the school.

For more information visit www.juneausymphony.org/student-symphony.org, or call the Symphony office at 586-4676.
