There
is a $325 annual fee for participation in the Minnesota Youth
Jazz Bands. This fee is used to cover part of the costs of
organizing and maintaining the bands. Private contributions
of time and money from individuals and businesses will cover
the remaining costs. There may be modest additional fees
that arise during the year (for social gatherings, T-shirts,
etc).
No musician will be turned away because of financial need.
If you would like information on scholarships, please contact
us.
Musicians must supply their own instrument in good repair,
as well as whatever peripheral equipment (reeds, mutes, sticks,
etc.) that instrument requires. Exceptions: there will be
a piano, drum set, and bass and guitar amps provided at the
rehearsal site.
Also, each musician must
own a metronome and a chromatic tuner. There are many excellent
low-cost brands to choose from, such as the Sabine MT9000,
which is a small tuner and metronome combined for around
$35.
