Rehearsals
Rehearsals are held in the Elliott Hall of Music, Room 15, on the Purdue University campus. For most concerts, the rehearsals are the Wednesday evening before the Thursday concert, from 7:00 to 9:00 pm. There are a few visitor parking spots around the Elliott Hall of Music; however, it is suggested that you arrive early and park in the garage at 3rd and University Streets, where there is no charge and you do not need a parking permit after 5:00 p.m.
Rainout Policy
We never call off a concert ahead of time. You must come to the concert
site, and a decision will be made by the start of the concert about
whether to play or not. If you do not show up, and the concert is
canceled, you will not be paid. If you do not show up, and
the concert is held, you may not be asked back to play again.
Concert Dress
Concert dress for Lafayette Citizens Band concerts is the red T-shirt,
black pants or skirts, and black socks and shoes. If you need a T-shirt,
and did not order one when you sent in your schedule, email us at
band@lafayettecitizensband.org. The cost of
a shirt is $15.
Pay Periods
Paychecks are issued twice during the season, around July 15 and
September 15. Social security (FICA
and Medicare) taxes are withheld, but federal income tax is not.
Anything else?
Of course, you may ask any other questions as well. Players are paid,
