The Denton Community Band operates without regard to sex, race, national origin, marital status, age, political views or affiliation, religious views or affiliation, sexual orientation, disability, or other factor unrelated to the support of the band's mission and purpose. Members of DCB are expected to maintain satisfactory attendance at rehearsals, performances and other activities; demonstrate continuing musical competence; perform all of the pieces selected to be performed by the group (unless the objection is religious in nature), conduct themselves with collegial and respectful demeanor towards the band, its members, conductors and guests; and abide by any other requirements and regulations stated in the Bylaws and Operating Procedures or otherwise issued by the Conductor and Officers. Any member who expects to be absent from the activities of the band for an extended period of time is asked to let Carol Lynn or one of the Officers know. By a majority vote of the Conductor and Officers, an individual may be removed from the band for failure to meet the above expectations.
