Volunteer: Orchestra Aides - Music & Disability Inclusion - SSLinterPLAY Orchestra rehearses and performs at Strathmore Music Center in North Bethesda, Maryland. Our purpose is to provide a stimulating creative and unique approach to music for adults with intellectual, developmental and/or physical disabilities. Most of the Musicians in our orchestra are not able to read music, which has often been a barrier to musical expression. The Musicians work side by side with non-disabled volunteer students and adult artists. Student (SSL) Volunteers assist interPLAY Orchestra with music operations and other orchestra support functions. Volunteers who assist our Orchestra Conductor with live rehearsals and performances are known as "Bandaides". Live rehearsals are held every Monday evening from 6:30-8:00pm, at Strathmore. Students who are at least 15 years old may apply to be a Bandaide. While training is available, we give preference to students who have some prior musical experience or experience working with persons with disabilities. Students who wish to do other kinds of orchestra support work are not required to have prior experience, but a desire to learn and reliability are very important. Additional support work may include clerical and administrative, inventory, event coordination, IT support, graphic design, and marketing support. All on-site work is supervised and performed either at Strathmore or other public venues in the Rockville area. Student participation in this service project is at the discretion of the student’s parent/guardian and must be completed outside of school hours. The nonprofit organization is responsible for maintaining student safety. Parents/guardians should contact the nonprofit directly with any questions and/or concerns.
