THE DJC YOUTH ALL-STARS ARE LOOKING FOR A DEDICATED HIGH SCHOOL BASS, TUBA OR LOW BRASS PLAYER!
THE AUDITION MUSIC AND RECORDING HAVE NOW BEEN POSTED AT: http://bandresourcesunlimited.com/downloads/.
WHEN WILL AUDITIONS TAKE PLACE? Sunday, April 28th (2:15-4:45pm), at Denver Percussion (7399 S. Tucson Way, Suite B2, Centennial).
WHAT EXPERIENCE IS NEEDED? Intermediate to advanced jazz experience is preferred.
MONTHLY CLINICIANS: Professional jazz musicians do clinics from time to time.
REHEARSALS: Weekly rehearsals take place at Denver Percussion, from 6:15 until 9:00 pm, each Sunday. Some rehearsals will take place earlier on Sundays, when necessary.
PERFORMANCE GIGS? We feature our band during each monthly Denver Jazz Club session, professional jazz festivals, and performance gigs throughout the area. The Youth All-Stars will be performing at the 2019 Evergreen, Denver Vintage, and Sacramento, California Hot Jazz Jubilee Festivals! We will also be performing on a concert tour to New Orleans during next summer!!
SCHOOL CONFLICTS? No performances or rehearsals conflict with school activities.
COST: Each selected student will be required to become a member of the Denver Jazz Club ($10 yearly fee). The monthly dues (4 weekly sessions) run $140, and are payable at the start of each month. Due to the invitation to perform in the 2019 Sacramento, California Hot Jazz Jubilee, over Labor Day Weekend (8/30/19-9/2/19), each selected student will need to pay their $275 airfare as soon as possible, so the plane tickets can be ordered at this lower fare. The remaining balance of the trip ($150) will be prorated monthly, through July (meals and miscellaneous; lodging will be paid by the festival).
WILL PAID GIGS REDUCE FUTURE TRIP COSTS? Starting on August 1st, any money the band is paid will go towards future trip expenses.
