About BMS All-City Jazz Ensemble
|
Welcome to the BMS All City Jazz Ensemble! This ensemble consists of students from grades 5-9 who want to learn about America's greatest musical tradition. The Jazz band will meet regularly every week. As with any extra ensemble there are increased practice expectations. The All-City Jazz Ensemble is one of the premier jazz ensembles in the city of Beverly. We strive to perform a wide variety of music including Swing, Big Band, Blues, Latin, and Afro-Cuban music. The students will learn the required pieces and also be asked to learn jazz solos and improvisation.

Auditions
|
The auditions for the All City Jazz Ensemble will be September 26th from 3:15-5. Students should gather all audition materials from Mr. Krafka.
The audition itself will at most be 5 minutes, and will consist of a student performing a prepared section of a piece, improvising over a Bb Blues, and some specifics for each instrument (listed below) I highly encourage all students to audition for this ensemble! It's an incredible opportunity for the students and the experience can be invaluable! |
