Greetings!
I’m very excited to have your students audition for the All-District Jazz band. In this letter should be found all necessary information for audition preparation. The auditions will run in conjunction with District Band Auditions on November 9th at Warrensburg HS. Auditions will start at approximately 9:00 a.m. We will utilize two rooms again; one for Rhythm and Trumpets, the other for Trombones and Saxes. The cost for auditions is $10.00 per audition and must be paid for prior to or on the day of auditions. Please make all checks out to WCMMEA.
We will utilize Set 4 from the Jazz Audition Materials. The etudes can be found at www.moaje.org. They are available for free download on the website. The other two selections are from Approaching the Standards and Blues in All Keys. Please contact me if you are having trouble finding the materials, I would love to help you get them.
