Thank you for your audition yesterday - we heard a number of qualified musicians!  Unfortunately, there is not a space in the UCD Concert Band for you at this time. We are working to create a 2nd ensemble for which you would qualify for. This group would likely rehearse on Wednesday (or possibly Monday) in the early evening, ending by about 7:00.

If I could have one super power ever, it would be to be able to observe myself from the outside.
