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! |
