Attention all students auditioning for the Rosa Jazz Band:
Auditions for the Rosa International Middle School Jazz Band will be held during the school day beginning on
Monday, October 4 and ending Thursday, October 7. The actual time of your audition will be notated on the
audition sheet hanging up outside the band room. Please be sure to check for you day and time and report
accordingly.
At the audition you will be scored based on your prepared solo (chosen by the director), scales or rudiments and
sight reading. Piano players, drummers and guitarists will be asked to “showcase” a song/style of your choosing,
as well. Any style is acceptable – jazz, classical, rock, pop…You will have the same amount of time to prepare
for this audition as everyone else. How you choose to use your time is up to you.
You MUST attend the scheduled time of your audition, as a make up time is not possible due to the judging
situation. Also, EVERYONE must audition within the same time period. If you know you already have a
conflict, you MUST see me as soon as possible to discuss alternative arrangements that may or may not be able
to be made.
