Big Band Jazz Auditions and Jazz Rhythm Section Auditions

CWU has four full jazz bands with approximately 18 positions in each band. Positions in each group are acquired by competition for a specific slot (such as Bari Sax, or Trumpet 4), where the student must out perform the other people auditioning for that slot.

In addition, all rhythm section players are auditioning for spots in the three big bands plus rhythm sections for the 2 vocal jazz ensembles.

More details are available on the first page of the audition pdf below..

ALL PLAYERS NEED TO SIGN UP FOR A TIME SLOT ON the JAZZ BOARD!

Throughout the process there may be callbacks of various players and/or decisions posted. Watch the Jazz Message Board for all information about the progress of auditions.
