We will continue to invest in updating our music library for 2025. Therefore music will be added at rehearsals as newly purchased pieces are received and as we refine our programming plans for the year. 

Members please remember that it is your responsibility to return any folders that you take home on the following Monday even if you are not able to attend rehearsal yourself. As the weeks progress we will continue to be handing out additional music and possibly changing some of the folder content on a regular basis. Having your folder there every Monday night is the only way to assure that your folder stays updated with the music that is needed and that any collected music gets safely filed away. As always, take home copies of music for home practice can be arranged for your convenience.

Music will be added to our 2025 folders for consideration in 2025 program scheduling. Music will continue  to be added as we build program plans. Folder content listing will be updated here so you know what music is being worked on at the moment.
