MEMBERSHIP

Like all bands Black Skull requires members to function as a band, without them we wouldn’t exist so the band is always keen to take in new members, young and old, to preserve and promote the culture and traditions our band stands for, for the present and the future. To be a member you don’t have to be able to play a flute or drum just have the desire and the commitment to learn how to do so.

Teaching

We will teach new members to play an instrument and to understand music even if they are an absolute beginner. All that we ask in return is they give 100% commitment to the band.

Trial Period

When a new member joins the band they are given a six week grace period before becoming a full member of the band, to see if they like the band's set up etc, this is a safe guard for the new member and the bands benefit as it gives the new member the opportunity after six weeks to say if they want to stay or move on, with out having committed them self to a band association contract. The band provides all instruments,tuition, and members will be tutored in the bands own practice hall on designated practice nights.

Finances & Fundraising

On the financial front, the band is self supporting we don’t receive any grants or monies from anyone, we have to work for it. There is no joining or subscription fee to get in the band, all members however are required to pay dues on a weekly basis or a monthly basis. The band provides all musical instruments, music, tuition, uniforms, etc, to all its members at no cost to the individual. To be able to do this the band has to raise funds throughout the year, by holding dances, running prize draws selling merchandise and the likes. The band has to work hard to raise funds to pay for the travelling it does along with the hotels and meals, uniforms, etc. and also to pay for all the accoutrements the band needs for the year. So all members are required to fundraise, there are no free rides.

The band subsidises all members up to the age of 16 in order to ease the financial burden on the family purse strings and after all it’s the young ones who are our future.

So if you have the desire to play in a band and you think you have the commitment to do so, then send us an email after all there are a lot worse things you or you kids could get involved in than playing in a band and help keep your culture and traditions alive.
