Do You Want to Play with the Band This Year?
DOWNLOAD THE 2025 PLAYER INFORMATION and complete the form on-line (NEW process this year!). If you have any questions or technical issues please email Jenn Tordil at jenn@lafayettecitizensband.org. 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.
