Our friends at Saint Xavier University reached out about a fun opportunity to get involved with their Community Concert Band, which includes community, college and high school musicians.

They're seeking brass, percussion and woodwinds instrument players to "join a dynamic ensemble of passionate musicians and make music together in a welcoming concert band setting."

Rehearsals take place on Monday evenings from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the music performance space of the Warde Academic Center at the university, 3700 W. 103rd St., Chicago.

Interested musicians should reach out to Professor John Eckstine by sending email to or calling (443) 826-0464.
