We don't have any formal requirements or qualifications and we don't require an audition. It might help if you've been in some sort of a band before and can read music.

Contact our director, Jas Linford, if you have any questions. He's also the man to see if you need to track down a new instrument because your mom sold your old one. Send email to Jas Linford (jaslinford@worldnet.att.net)or call (206) 842-2084.
