Is anybody here in the Band-Uh?

[PhantomVirgo]

<p>I’m considering joining the Band-Uh, but I’m worried about the time commitment. Just how much of a time commitment is there, and does it leave you with plenty of time for studying?</p>

<p>Also, are there instruments that can be loaned out? If I join I’ll be trying for oboe, but while I’ve played it before I don’t own one of my own.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

Q: I’M REALLY GOING TO NEED TO STUDY A LOT. WHAT IF I DON’T HAVE TIME FOR THE BAND?
We only ask that you come to 50% of the gigs. That’s hardly anything! Many of us who are active members have over 80% attendance, and plenty of us have over 100%. Luckily for those people, the theorems of Mathematics do not necessarily apply in the Aggie Band-uh!. Once you get used to college life and balancing your schedule, you will find it is easy to make time for band. And the best part is, not a single gig is mandatory! If you ever need to skip out on ANY gig ALL year to study or work, you can, no questions asked. We even let people send in excuses for when they have class or work conflicts, so that the gigs missed for those reasons don’t even hurt your attendance! All of us find plenty of time to study; after all, our education is the reason why we are here.
