Virtual Jazz Band Recordings

Jazz Band members, use the Flipgrid link to record your parts for The Jazz Police

Remember to use headphones so we only hear your part and NOT the accompaniment.

Feel free to record the piece in sections if that is easier - just make sure to label your video with the bar numbers so they can be put back together in the correct location.

**Earn 30 points towards your Band Ninja total for a complete recording of the Jazz Police.
