We rehearse in San Francisco, generally two Sundays a month, except close to a concerts when we rehearse every week. Our rehearsals start at 2:45 (3:00 downbeat) and run to 6:00 pm, except where otherwise noted.

Rehearsals take place at the Mission Presbyterian Church, located at 3261 23rd St (between Mission and Capp) in the Mission District of San Francisco. It is BART/Muni accessible, and street parking shouldn't be too much of a problem. Click here for driving directions. These are the rehearsal and concert dates.
