Jazz Band Resources

Email Dr. Marino for the Jazz Google Classroom Code

You can join the Summer Jazz Classroom if you're sure you're auditioning OR if you're just thinking about it!  Later in the summer there will be an official audition sign-up form on the Classroom.  Auditions are in September.  When you audition you can tell me that you'd prefer to be in a Jazz Combo (a small jazz band that meets during the school day) or Jazz Big Band (a large ensemble that meets before school). You can also ask me to recommend which one I think is right for you.  They rehearse at different times, so many musicians join both!
