We will be starting a jazz band at Pine Ridge! They will rehearse the same music separately, then come together before performances to rehearse a few times together.
Rehearsals: Lunch hours on Day 2.
Purposes of the band:
1. To have fun.
2. Learn Jazz music and improvisation.
3. Perform at the Brandon Jazz Festival in March 2025.
The band will be playing challenging music, so there will be auditions/cuts.
Auditions will be held at each school during the week of October 28-Nov 1. There will be a sign up sheet.
Audition Preparation:
- Students should choose a song to perform for me, 30 seconds or less of music.
- Students will need to sight read a bit of music.
- And, it will be fun!
Contact me through the school website or [email protected] if you have any questions!
Notes:
If accepted into the band, you'll need to make every effort to attend all rehearsals and concerts.
You can do sports and Jazz band - we'll talk about conflicts between them as they arise.
Do we want to create a band t-shirt?
What should we call the band???!!!
