ENSEMBLE MUSICIANS NEEDED
Do you sing or play an instrument? Participating in a music ensemble is fun and does not require as much time as you may think. Richland’s Symphonic Wind Ensemble is the only daytime community college concert band in the metroplex. Clarinet, French horn, trumpet and double reed players are needed. Richland has several jazz groups ranging in size and ability level. Even if you have never played in a jazz ensemble before, Richland has a spot for you. The Jazz Singers are looking for rhythm section players(piano, bass, drums). Trumpet and rhythm section players (especially bass and piano) are needed. Richland’s String Orchestra is rapidly growing and is in need of experienced players. Scholarships are available for all students regardless of major (audition required).

The Symphonic Wind Ensemble will meet on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons (3:30-5:30pm) for fall semester 2008. For information, call Derrick Logozzo at 972-238-6254
