This band will focus on learning many styles of jazz and 'popular' music from the 1890s - 2000s. It is open to those who have completed at least 2 years of concert band (or are in symphonic band) or equivalent playing ability.
This group is only open to the following instruments:
- Trumpet
- Trombone
- Saxophone
- Tuba/Sousaphone*
- Guitar*
- Bass (electric or accoustic)*
- Keyboard*
- Percussion (drum set, auxilliary percussion)*
There are limits on the number of players on each part. *These instruments are generally limited to one or two players and rotate between the two and may be asked to learn other instruments (percussion/keyboard, etc.).
This is a PERFORMING group. During the Spring semester this group will likely have many different performance events. Participants in this group must be available to perform on a regular basis (up to 1-2 times per month during spring).
All wind instrument players are required to also participate within one of our other bands (Concert or Symphonic)
