Online Registration Tutorial

The Wauwatosa Rec Department online system can be a bit challenging. Here are instructions to help you get signed up so you can send membership payments online. PLEASE NOTE that you can only register for the full year of band through the online portal. If you need to register for just one semester, you will have to contact the rec department directly.

Comedy Tonight! (Well, actually it’s next week)
Wednesday, May 15th, 2024
Our Spring Concert, titled Comedy Tonight! is less than a week away! Come out for a thoroughly enjoyable night with pieces truly showing the full gamut of what this band is capable of. We have some absolutely hilarious pieces by P.D.Q. Bach, and some Disney favorites. At the other end of the scale, we have Circus Franticus, and Holst’s Jupiter!
You have never been to a concert like this. If you think concert bands only play serious music, get ready to laugh out loud. If you’ve ever wondered what a trumpet mouthpiece sounds like by itself, you are in for a treat. If you think that a group of “amateurs” can’t play anything difficult, we’re about to blow you away.
