(May 28, 2026) — Oddfellows Playhouse is seeking volunteer musicians for the Children’s Circus of Middletown. The Band is an integral part of the show, an outdoor circus performance for more than a thousand spectators. The band seeks musicians on woodwind, brass and other instruments, with a good attitude, sense of humor, and desire to play together in a creative way.
The circus band is a combination of adult and student musicians. Experienced high school students are welcome and encouraged to join. The director is Joseph Getter, a local musician, educator and parent with more than twenty-five years of experience as a member of this group.

There is a mandatory all-day Dress Rehearsal on Thursday, July 30, 2026 from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The circus performance will be on Friday, July 31, 2026 at 5:00 p.m., with a band call at 3:00 p.m.. The rain date is Saturday, August 1, 2026.
