Jazz Band Auditions

Jazz Band auditions will be next Tuesday after school. If you can’t be present, then contact Mr. Nash and we will work something out. We will be playing some of the Christmas music that will be performed at the Christmas concert as well as some other tunes. We will be playing all together! It will almost be like a simulated rehearsal. We will be trying different people out on different parts. There will be lots of trading around parts and places. How you behave, perform, and respond is part of your audition.

There will also be a video audition that will be due Tuesday night at 11:59 PM. This will be due on in Google Classroom. The link to the class and the password to get in are posted below. The video audition will be very simple. Everyone will perform the melody of tune “All of Me”. The Music will be in the google classroom. There will also be hard copies available in the Band Room tomorrow.

Everyone trying out on an instrument that is NOT Drum Set, will simply record themselves playing the melody for the submission. Anyone trying out for drum set will not need to submit a recording. The Drum Set audition will be 100% in person. THE MAJORITY OF EVERYONES AUDITION WILL BE BASED ON THE IN-PERSON AUDITION. I am attaching some videos for everyone to get a baseline for the kinds of sounds we are going for. These are great reference points for what we will be trying to do. The recordings is the same tune that you playing for your video audition. The melody will be played a little differently on these recordings then what is on your music. The music is just a baseline of the melody. If you would like to emulate the recordings during your audition, that is fine. Be creative! Take some chances!
