Players have the opportunity to play in an ensemble, experiment with the different instruments (alto, bass, and piccolo), and improve and practice their skills in a supportive environment.

Contact Becky Darbee by calling or texting to (814) 688-2054 to receive information regarding the time and location of the reading session. Please leave a name, number, and email information.
