In order to make our schedule as accessible as possible for young students and working adults alike, we rehearse on a "cut down" style schedule similar to a community band, and expect members to come to rehearsal prepared with any musical/visual assignments. Because we only rehearse every-other-Saturday in the summer, it is vitally important that members who need to miss rehearsals inform their section staff and our corps director as soon as they are aware of any schedule conflicts so we can mark that member as excused, per our corps handbook.
Northern Lights posts our season schedule as early as possible in order to give members ample time to plan for their busy lives! Below you will find a map of the campus, as well as our full schedule as it stands at the time of your reading it from this page. Rehearsals and events may not have complete details and are subject to change, or details may change with short notice, so please watch this page for any updates

Spring Rehearsals
Our drill install rehearsals are paramount to the success of our 2024 show, and these are the main days where we'll be learning the drill for the show. We ask all members to be extremely judicious about missing any of these rehearsals, and prepare to use any resource available to learn the drill at home if they have to miss a drill install day.
