Jazz Band is for advanced instrumentalists who have developed their skills in TAFA Concert Bands or String Programs and are ready for the next step...playing and learning jazz in a high-energy big band setting. While continuing in your concert band or string experience, you’ll sharpen your technique, expand your improvisation skills, and experience the energy, fun, and creativity that jazz brings.
FYI - The three tunes you will need to work on if you are interested in trying out for TPSMEA All-State Jazz are Blues News, High Line Bossa, and Funkus Improvitus. Oct. 24th is the date for making the audition recordings. Our Night of Jazz Concert along with the Jazz Choir will be Nov. 6th at 7PM.
