Spring 2017 Jazz Auditions

Jazz Orchestra 

Jazz Band

Jazz Orchestra meets M/W/F and is the top jazz group. 

JAZZ BAND meets at 5:00 M/W and is a traditional big band setup.

Jazz Lab Big Band

JAZZ LAB BIG BAND meets Monday evenings at 8pm, and is non-auditioned, but seats will be reserved for those who go through the audition process. Invite friends who play! This ensemble incorporates any variety of instruments.

Jazz Combos

COMBOS are arranged, but usually early morning T/TH

​YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE A MUSIC MAJOR TO PARTICIPATE! We have tons of fun in these classes, and you will become a better musician for having auditioned. If you have friends on campus who play and have not been participating, please let them know about this possibility.

Auditions will consist of this prepared material, short sight-reading excerpt, and totally optional improvisation (can only ADD to your score, will not take away any points).

AUDITION MUSIC, TIMES, AND LOCATION ARE TO BE ANNOUNCED SOON.

You get a free 1 hour credit for playing, too! Great deal!

​Please feel free to contact Dr. Todd Hill for more information: thill@murraystate.edu
