2014-2015 Jazz Band Audition Information
Hello All!
It was great to talk with you this morning regarding this years Jazz Lab Band! If you were unable to attend todays meeting don't fear, everything we discussed is listed below in the meeting notes. Auditions have been officially scheduled for SEPTEMBER 24th, and 25th AFTER SCHOOL! Please fill out the audition form so I know when your planning on auditioning! Remember the audition process is very simple, please prepare a few scales, an excerpt that demonstrates your abilities and skills, and be prepared to do a small sight reading sample. I am looking for things like good timing, tone, and intonation NOT JAZZ EXPERIENCE!!! If you don't make the group do not be discouraged!! I will be happy to sit down recommend some skills to work on and you can re-audition in the future! The goal of auditions is for me to get to know your skills as a player, since we are a unique one of a kind group all of our music is composed for us and it is important for me to know your skill levels and experience before we begin writing. I look forward to seeing you all at auditions, if you cannot make either audition date please email me at dmyers@noolp.org so that I may schedule another time to hear you play. See you all soon!
