FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION:
Our most frequently asked question is whether someone can play with the band.
The Oakland Municipal Band is a professional ensemble, not a community group, and all members need to be members of the Musician’s Union Local 6 in order to perform. If you are a union member, you need to be contracted for the gig and that the band has only a specific number of spots, based on the union contract. Extra players also would entail difficulties in setup and sheet music management.
