Instrumentalists, such as organists, pianists, guitarists, and perhaps others, are needed to accompany cantor, choir, and congregation during the celebration of Mass and other liturgies.This ministry role is for skilled accompanists, and an informal audition is required.

Supporting Instrumentalists
St. Mary's Music Ministry offers additional opportunities for those who are instrumentalists and would be utilized in a supporting role, such as violin, trumpet, saxophone, flute, drums, and others. The Supporting Instrumentalist role would typically be utilized on special occasions or seasonally, such as Christmas, Easter, Advent, solemnities, and sacramental celebrations. An informal audition is required. If you are interested in becoming a Supporting Instrumentalist, please contact Kim Allen.
 
Sound System Tech
St. Mary Music Ministry has a new opportunity for those who have an interest or talent in the area of audio technology.  The sound system tech ensures the integrity of the audio acoustics in the church during our weekend Masses by running the sound system’s remote access iPad. A good “ear” for appropriate volume, balanced sound, and background noise, as well as an aptitude in using this technology are needed. If you may be interested in this opportunity, please contact Kim Allen. Training will be provided.
