The Minnesota Youth Jazz Bands are open by audition to all musicians high school age or younger in the greater Twin Cities area. Three bands will rehearse weekly, perform several concerts, and record a CD during the 2011/2012 school year. The purpose of the program is to give young musicians further opportunities to learn and perform together, in an environment of high expectations and standards.
The instrumentation of each band is: five saxophones (two altos, two tenors, one baritone), four trombones, five trumpets, piano, bass, drums, and guitar. Auditions for the 2011/2012 season were held in August of 2011. The bands are now rehearsing.
Apply now for the 2012/2013
