OJJB
The Ottawa Junior Jazz Band (OJJB) is an 18 piece big band consisting of grade 7, 8, 9 and 10 students from the Ottawa Region. In it's 24th season, OJJB sets out to provide a platform for students to further expand upon their musical experiences from middle school, and promote an interest in big band music. OJJB has been awarded 24 consecutive Gold Standards at the Capital Region Music Festival. The band has been awarded the Gold Standard at every performance they have had at Musicfest Canada's National Competition. OJJB has been featured at the Ottawa International Jazz Festival, Montreal Jazz Festival and in 2009, traveled to Dallas to perform at the University of North Texas Jazz Festival. The band has had the pleasure of performing on stage with jazz artists Mark Ferguson, Nick Dyson, and Mike Tremblay. Anyone who aspires to be the next member of OJJB is required to audition for entry into the band which takes place every year in the month of June.
