Apache Band

Welcome to the Apache Band!

The Apache Band is open to all students who qualify by audition. The band program as a whole performs at a large number of campus, athletic, and community events. As a member of one of our ensembles you will participate in one of the most exciting and diverse organizations at TJC, taking advantage of musical and social opportunities unparalleled in any other college activity. If you would enjoy performing great music in a non-competitive atmosphere where you can create life-long friendships, then the Apache Band program is for you! We hope you will consider adding your musical talents to one of the most exciting junior college band programs in the nation!

Please check out the navigation links to the right to see more information about the many ensembles that TJC offers. Feel free to contact us if you would like more information.

Summer Orientation

Attention incoming freshmen - Please attend one of the summer orientation sessions so you can be advised and registed for classes BEFORE band camp, as you will not have time to do it during camps, and classes will start to fill up - you will not get to have your pick of class times - the closer it gets to the end of summer. For more information on how to register for Summer Orientation, and what you will need, please visit the Summer Orientation website.

For information on marching band course numbers/sections to sign up for, see the Marching Band page.

Dates: June 13-14, June 20-21, June 27-28, July 11-12, July 18-19, July 25-26

About Band Camp Registration: Band camp registration requires that you fill out health insurance forms (including a copy of your health insurance ID card), check out school instruments, and be fitted for your uniform. Please be patient as this process does take time. If you wish to audition for wind ensemble or jazz ensemble, you may do so at anytime during the 2-6:30pm time frame, but do not miss your assigned time window below for band camp registration.
