This section () is currently full.

However, we often have a few musicians who drop out during the set for various reasons. By opting-in to a standby seat, you will join us during rehearsals, and will join us for the concert if another musician has dropped out.

It is likely you would be able to join us, but we cannot guarantee a place in the concert.
