Auditions
Audition information for Fall 2012:
Auditions will be held on Wednesday, Sept. 5, 5 to 6:30 p.m., in Booth 208. Your audition will be with Tim Emmons, the Jazz Ensemble director. Tim will accompany you when you play (or sing). You will be asked to perform up to three pieces in contrasting styles — for example, a Jazz blues, a ballad and a Latin Jazz or straight eighth note Jazz/Rock composition. You can prepare pieces for the audition or the director will select tunes from a fake book. You also will be given music from a typical Jazz arrangement to sightread. Please contact Tim Emmons for more information. The first meeting of the Jazz Ensemble will be on Monday, Sept. 12, at 6:00 p.m., Booth 208.
