About the Pride Instrumental Ensemble

Making Music. Building Community. Celebrating Pride.

The Pride Instrumental Ensemble is a brand-new instrumental group launching in Fall 2026. Established as an inclusive space for LGBTQ+ adult musicians and allies, the ensemble focuses on community engagement, creative collaboration, and the joy of making music together.

Rehearsals & Skill Level: We will hold weekly rehearsals, likely on Thursday evenings. While you don’t need to be a professional by any means, musicians must be ages 18 or older and proficient on their instrument, as the repertoire may be a bit fast-paced for absolute beginners. Come rehearse, perform, and connect with a community that celebrates exactly who you are.

Ready to Play? Here is what you need to know:

• Who Can Join: Woodwind, brass, percussion, and string players from the LGBTQ+ community and enthusiastic allies. Must be 18 or older.

• Skill Level: Proficient. You don’t need to be a pro, but you should be comfortable reading music and playing intermediate ensemble literature.

• Commitment: Weekly rehearsals, Thursdays 7 – 9 pm Sept – early Dec & Late Jan – June

• Location – Penn-Griffin School For The Arts, Band Room, 825 Washington St, High Point

• Launch Date: Fall 2026.
