Our jazz band requires a ”Balance of Sound” to ensure the ensemble sounds appropriate. Too much of one instrument can throw the sound out of balance and result in poor performance quality. Everyone on this list scored well enough to make it into jazz band but we just don’t have enough spots for everyone to perform.

 

Reserve players will attend all rehearsals to learn and grow in the field of jazz. Reserve players may be held out of select performances based on the concerns mentioned above. Reserve players may be moved into a full-time role in the event a current member is falling short on his/her responsibilities.
