Oddfellows Playhouse Youth Theater seeks volunteer musicians to join the band for the 31st annual Children’s Circus of Middletown. 

The Band is an integral part of the show, a spectacular outdoor circus performance for over 1,000 spectators! We seek musicians on woodwind, brass and other instruments, with a good attitude, sense of humor, and desire to play together in a creative way. The Circus band is a combination of adult and student musicians. The Band Director is Joseph Getter, a local musician, teacher and parent with over 20 years of experience as a member of this group. 

Rehearsals will be held at Oddfellows Playhouse, 128 Washington Street in Middletown, beginning on June 26 from 7 to 9 pm, continuing with two or three practices per week. There is a mandatory all-day Dress Rehearsal on Thursday, August 1 from 9am to 3pm. The Circus performance will be on Friday, August 2 at 5 pm, with a band call at 4pm. The rain date is Saturday, August 3. 

For more information or to sign up, please contact Joseph Getter at the Playhouse by calling (860) 347-6143, or by email to <info@oddfellows.org>. 

Thank you, and see you at the circus!
