I know they'll be there, every Monday night at St. Thomas church. Nobody needs to call. The band has been in existence, with a few interruptions, since the Civil War. During the 1960s the band took a break, but Gary Wiggins won a grant from the Indiana Arts Commission under Bloomington JayCees sponsorship in 1978 and revived the group. I feel like the character in Field of Dreams.
Newcomers are always welcome.
We don't hold auditions. If we were to set up certain skill levels, that would seem very intimidating and remember, we're a volunteer band. So we have an open door policy. You can come in and see how you like us. People usually know if they aren't up to the band's level.
