Membership benefits include:
- The use of the Wellington Batucada practice venue
- The use of Wellington Batucada owned instruments
- Receiving the weekly Wellington Batucada BATMAIL
- Getting your hands on the Batucada drum notation PDFs so you can practice at home
- Ongoing access to the members-only section of the website
And, you need to be a member of Wellington Batucada to:
- Attend Batucada band practice
- Perform at gigs once you’ve been signed-off
- Attend the AGM
- Vote on Wellington Batucada matters and for the committee
Signed-off status
Please note that there are checkboxes on the form to indicate whether or not you want to be part of the performance group for the coming year. If you’re a beginner, you’re definitely not ready to tick these yet – but sometime within the next 6-18 months, you most definitely could be!
Band members please tick the performance checkboxes only if you have been officially signed-off by Tim or Darryn (drummers), or Arawhetu or Hillary (dancers). Sign-off indicates that the directors are completely confident in your ability to perform in parades and/or on-stage.

Your membership fees cover the year 1st September 2020 – 31st August 2021.
