2016-2017 Jazz Ensembles Announced!!! (scroll down)

​

2016 Jazz Auditions

For the 2016-2017 school year, we will have our jazz auditions on Tuesday, August 30th, from 4:00-6:00. You will have the opportunity to sign up during the first few weeks of school. On Tuesday, August 23rd, we will have a workshop directly after school, where you will be able to get some help on the audition material. 

The auditions will be in a few parts:
1) The IMEA song for this year, "State Line Strut". You will play off the first part for your instrument (if applicable).
2) Solo over the F blues...you will play 2 choruses with an accompaniment track. Rhythm section: you will be expected to comp or walk a bassline over the 12 measure form. 
3) For those students that are interested in trying out for the top jazz ensemble, you will play the Jim Snidero etude "Lunar". 
4) For the drummers, you have a special etude to play, with many of the styles, fills, etc. that you will be expected to play. 

Below, you can download and print off the parts you need for your audition. There are also recordings of the songs, and a play-along for the improvisation. For the mp3s, you can right click and save them to your computer, and then play it from there, your IPod, IPhone, IPad, etc. 

Enjoy, and good luck!!!
