The What Cheer? Brigade is looking for a new percussionist! We would prefer someone who already feels confident playing a marching snare, but if you’re a drummer who thinks you can adapt your skills quickly to our style, we’d love to give you a shot. Email whatcheerbrigade@gmail.com
Being in What Cheer? is amazing fun. You won’t get paid, but we ensure that band members don’t have to come out of their own pocket to be in the band, meaning you get to travel a lot of really cool places and have a blast while we provide food, lodging, per diems and instrument repair.
