Do You Want to Play with the Band This Year?
DOWNLOAD THE 2023 PLAYER INFORMATION, complete the forms (and save yourself a copy), then email to the appropriate Section Manager (email addresses are included in the forms or click on a Section Manager name above). Alternatively, you can print the forms, fill them out, and snail mail them to your Section Manager (addresses are included in the forms). Your Section Manager will get back to you about available playing opportunities (if any).
All NEW LCB players (“employees”) must fill out a Form I-9 in order to be paid. Why? It is a federal law! Form I-9 documents that you are authorized to work in the United States. At the first rehearsal you attend, you need to bring either a valid U.S. passport or two forms of ID as specified on Form I-9. In lieu of a passport, most commonly this would be a driver’s license or voter registration card AND a social security card or birth certificate. You can download the form here: https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-9-paper-version.pdf. Fill out your part of Form I-9 and bring it to rehearsal with your passport or 2 forms of ID. Your Section Manager or another LCB official will examine your documents, complete the remainder of the Form I-9, and file it in the band office for retention.

Rainout Policy
We never call off a concert ahead of time. You must come to the concert site where a decision will be made by the concert start time about whether to play or not. If you do not show up and the concert is canceled, you will not be paid. If you do not show up, and the concert is held, you may not be asked back to play again.
