The Kamloops Community Band is holding open rehearsals throughout September.
The band, directed by Cliff Noakes and Don Bennett, consists of amateur players from secondary and university students to working adults and retirees.
It performs concert band classics, traditional marches, music from movies, musical theatre, jazz standards and contemporary pop throughout the year.
The band plays public and benefit concerts throughout the season, such as a benefit for Richard Dickens Music Scholarship Fund, a concert in Chase on behalf of the Chase Christmas Hamper Fund, a benefit for the Canadian Diabetes Association and a performance at Art in the Park on Canada Day.
An exchange concert with the Salmon Arm Community Band is in the works as well.
Rehearsals will be held every Sunday until the end of the month from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. in the music room at South Kamloops secondary school, 821 Munro St.
