Spring semester 2011 rehearsals kick off tonight, Tuesday, January 18, 2011, at 7:00 p.m. in the San Joaquin Delta College Band Room, Holt Center Room 113, on the Delta campus, situated at 5757 Pacific Avenue, Stockton. There is ample parking for a fee of $1.00. (Purchase a daily parking permit from one of the meters located in each parking lot, and permit on the dashboard of your vehicle to avoid receiving a costly citation from campus police.)

In order to be a member of the Band, you must be enrolled as a student at San Joaquin Delta College and enrolled in Music 026 or 028! The fee for one unit of college credit is $26. If you have not previously enrolled in a Delta College class or more than two semesters have elapsed since you last attended the college, you must reapply for admission following the step-by-step directions set forth on Delta’s website.

Note: It is extremely helpful and very much appreciated if you apply and/or register prior to our first rehearsal, because that will enable us to spend less time dealing with administrative/clerical matters and allow us to devote the bulk of our time together rehearsing! However, if you are not able to enroll prior to our first rehearsal, Mr. Holton or a member of the Band will assist you with the application and enrollment process that evening. Please bring a major credit card with which to pay the tuition.

High school students, please note: You are invited to be a member of the Stockton Concert Band and earn one unit of credit from San Joaquin Delta College, but you must be concurrently enrolled in your high school’s band and obtain permission from both your principal and high school band director. Mr. Holton will provide you with the required forms at the first rehearsal. It is your responsibility to obtain those individuals’ signatures and return the completed forms to Mr. Holton in a timely manner.

Questions? Feel free to contact Mr. Holton via e-mail (aholton at deltacollege dot edu) or speak with him at the first rehearsal. He will be happy to answer any questions you may have!
