Did you miss Band Registration? Email eggen.dominick@brevardschools.org so we can coordinate how to get your student on board!

RETURNING MEMBERS were not required to attend:

• The Band Registration Information Form has been made available to Returning Members to be completed at home or in school

• Uniform and apparel sizing can be completed in school 

• Paperwork will be collected in school and returned later

• Some families may choose to attend in order to have their Out-of-County Paperwork notarized

• Leadership Students should plan to attend to assist

This is a small excerpt from the “New Members” page found on our program’s website:
Is Marching Band required?

YES, we have co-curricular requirements for all students enrolled in Band Courses 1-6 and/or Instrumental Ensemble 1-4
(Percussion Class). This means that students will be asked to participate in rehearsals and performances outside of the school day; HOWEVER, the level of participation will differ for several reasons:

8th-Grade Beginners - Students who have been playing an instrument for less than one school-year may not march right away; they will still be taught marching fundamentals at Band Camp & throughout the Fall, and they will be included in all games and performances in some meaningful way. 

All other Band students (2+ years of playing experience) - These students typically are assigned a "spot" in the "Half-Time Show" and would only lose that spot through issues of attendance (excused or unexcused). These students may also serve in Leadership positions as they progress. 

Medical Limitations/Conflicts - Some issues may prevent a student from meaningfully participating in rehearsals and/or performances.  Students with medical & physical limitations and students participating in specific Viera High School sponsored sports should coordinate with a Director to speak about your specific situation and what compromise may be worked out:

FREE BIG BAND JAZZ CONCERTS JUNE 20/21

Hello! I'm Andrew Cleaver, Executive Director and Jazz Orchestra Director with the Space Coast Symphony Orchestra.

I want to let you know that the Jazz Orchestra will be hosting a weekend big band jazz series June 20 at The Scott Center at Holy Trinity in Melbourne and June 21 at The Emerson Center in Vero Beach. These concerts will feature Phil Wilson's "Wizard of Oz Suite" along with a recreation of Frank Sinatra's "Sinatra at the Sands" album that featured the County Basie big band. 

The saxophone section will include a member of this year's Brevard All-County Jazz Band, Rylee Peddicord from Satellite Beach High, on tenor sax. She'll be representing the best of Brevard schools while performing alongside the top jazz musicians in Central Florida.

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

Aside from inviting you to enjoy the outstanding music, we're offering a great opportunity for students to easily earn Bright Futures volunteer hours. Local students are invited to attend the concert. Those 18 and under and college students with an ID get in at no cost. 

Volunteers should notify me by replying to this email or texting me at 240-412-1859. Volunteers are required to arrive one hour before each concert starts, help set up the ticket tables and the stage then pass out programs and enjoy the concert. When the concert ends, volunteers will hold the doors, collect programs and help clear the stage.

THIS WEEEKEND

If you are looking for even more hours, you're welcome to attend and volunteer at the Space Coast Symphony Orchestra concert this Saturday, May 23, at the Scott Center at Holy Trinity. This concert features 40 high school musicians from Brevard schools. Please contact me by replying to this email if you would like to volunteer, then arrive at 6pm Saturday to assist. The concert starts at 7pm, ends at 9, and you should be clearing the stage by 9:30pm.

Other volunteer opportunities this summer include:

June 27, 2026, 7pm, at The Scott Center at Holy Trinity - AMERICA TOGETHER concert

July 18, 2026, 7pm, at The Scott Center at Holy Trinity - LIGHTS UP ON BROADWAY concert

More concerts will be added to the calendar soon, so watch out for more volunteer opportunities at www.SpaceCoastSymphony.org!

Thank you!
