Substitution List

Join the WCCB Concert Sub List

As all musicians know, due to scheduling conflicts or illness bands occasionally require a few players to sit in to cover missing parts or fill out a section. We invite players who might not be able to commit as a regular member of the band, but who would be comfortable sitting in for the dress rehearsal and concert, to add themselves to our sub list. When concert dates are set we will email you to let you know of the date and check your availability. Sections that most often need subs are clarinet, trumpet and percussion. If you’d like to be added to the sub list, please contact us.
