The Maryland Jazz Band is designed for middle school and high school students new to ensemble playing who wish to study and perform jazz. Throughout the semester, students study jazz repertoire, develop improvisation skills, and build on their ability to work as a group.Positions are available for all instruments. Regular recitals occur throughout the year and previous groups have participated in masterclasses with renowned guest artists, such as the Airmen of Note.Please note: An audition is required for all new students. Auditions are held the week before rehearsals begin and consist of C, Bb, and F major scales; a short musical excerpt of the student’s choice; and sight-reading.
