Recruiting
Ask players you know to consider playing with us.
We want to be
"self-renewing!", by invitation or not - no auditions.
(Additional percussionists in particular would expand our horizons.)
If you have particular fondness for certain pieces SSB has played
over the years,
you are free to first make copies (at your own expense) for your own use.
