If you want to be in Jazz Band next year, please be sure to list it (along with band class) as one of your electives when you meet with your advisor this week. Jazz Band is open to any current band student, but you must also be enrolled in a regular band class.
Reasons to be in jazz band:
really fun music
Jazz is the only true American art form.
You get to play your instrument more.
Gigs often include free food.
Reasons people don't do jazz:
scared of jazz solos
(Don't be scared; I'm going to teach you how to do it.)
Can't play scales
(Yeah, that might be a good reason. So go practice and learn one or two.)
The US Air Force Band of the West (from Lackland AFB in San Antonio, TX) will present instrument clinics (called "masterclasses") and a free concert on Saturday, March 23 at Georgia Southern University in Statesboro. Band members from SCHS and SCMS are invited to attend for free.
