Rehearsals

Rehearsals are usually held at South Burlington High School, 7- 9 p.m. on Tuesdays. Members are asked to contribute dues to help defray expenses. The current dues is $85 for an entire semester ending in a concert. We also ask $8 per rehearsal if you attend less than the entire semester.

If you are interested in joining the orchestra, please contact us and tell us about your musical background.
