All 6th through 8th graders are encouraged to audition for the Jazz Band. Even if your son/daugher does not make the group, the audition process is an educational experience. The more time one auditions, the easier auditions become. Jazz Band instrumentation* is as follows:

• 5 Saxophones
• 4 Trombones
• 4 Trumpets
• 2 Drummer
• 1 Piano
• 1 Bass
• 1 Guitar

*Section instrumentation may be smaller than listed, depending on auditions. The Jazz Band will rehearse on Friday mornings from December to May. Auditions will be on November 30th and December 1st. Sign-up times will be available from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Students who participate in the Jazz Band must be members "in good standing" (attending all scheduled instrumental/string lessons and all ensemble rehearsals) of the Concert Band, Orchestra, and/or Choir. This is a select and students are one on a part.
