As this school year comes to a close, we're already looking ahead to the 2025-2026 jazz season! We are excited to continue offering four jazz ensembles, which will rehearse on Monday evenings (October-May) with start times at either 6:00 PM or 7:30 PM.


Auditions are open to all students interested in being part of the jazz program for the 2025-2026 school year. If you choose not to audition, you are still welcome to participate in our non-audition jazz ensemble in the fall.

Whether you're a returning member or new to jazz, we encourage you to audition! Placement will be based on musicianship, stylistic understanding, and ensemble readiness.


Please find the audition packet HERE. It includes:

  • Audition excerpts and etudes

  • Backing tracks for practice and performance

If you have any questions about the music or would like help preparing, don't hesitate to reach out.

We look forward to hearing your auditions and building another incredible year of jazz together!


Have a great summer!

Doug Brown
