Join the Revel Force
No auditions. No experience requirements. Just show up with your instrument and your willingness to make some noise. The Rebellion welcomes all.
A Safe Space for Everyone
The Revel Force Brass and Intergalactic All Stars are a Community centered organization with a commitment to providing a welcoming, inclusive, and equitable environment.
Within our mission as harbingers of joy, we do not make a point of any political affiliations, but recognize that our mission is best achieved when all members feel safe to express their joy.
We preserve our space for joy by offering no space for any forms of discrimination, bullying, intimidation, harassment, racism, ethnic or religious aggression, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or retaliation.
Any actions, behaviors, displayed symbols, or communications which seem unaligned with this policy should be reported to current officers.

What Do We Play?
If it's part of a brass band or Sci-fi tradition, we want to hear it.
Woodwinds
Piccolo, flute, clarinet, bass clarinet, and all saxophones — from soprano to bass, so far.
Brass
Trumpet, mellophone, trombone, euphonium, and sousaphone.
Percussion
Snare, bass drum, quads, cymbals, and bells.
Something else?
If you can play it in a parade without an assistant, and are willing to help with adapting our music for it, We're interested in hearing about it.
Common Intel
Do I need to be an experienced musician?
Not at all. We welcome players of all skill levels. If you can hold your instrument and follow along, you belong here. Parts are available in notation and as audio you can follow along with.
How often do you rehearse?
Typically once a week, with extra run-throughs before major gigs. Check the schedule in the Member Portal for current times.
Is there a fee to join?
While occasionally members chip in for drinks or supplies, the dues situation is typically quite the reverse of a fee!
When the band plays a gig and gets paid for it, every member who performed is eligible for a share of the income. The bigger our sound, the more likely the pay!
What do I wear to perform?
We have a standard attire for certain gigs. Details are available in the Member Portal once you join.
