Hello all. This is specifically for high school jazz band auditions. The auditions will take place during class in the first two weeks of school. Mr. Wadell will provide instruction during class so that there is no confusion as to how the audition works. These will take place in front of others as has been done in years past. Please go to the Jazz Audition Material page for everything you need. Please contact Mr. Wadell if you have any questions.
Here is what you will audition on, except drums (must be played with backing tracks provided):
1. Play the Melody of Kenny'll Do It
2. Improvise using the blues scale in the top left corner
3. Play the Melody of The Preacher
Drums:
1. Play each of the Drum Styles on the last page of the audition material. These must be played with the backing tracks provided.
The rest of the music in the packet is for the All-District/All-State Jazz Band. Please start working on this so that we have a strong presence in these groups!
