For the students who auditioned and did not make a band, we do thank you very much for auditioning and encourage you to try again!!! The competition was very tough in some sections and that is a good thing. In the meantime, please take advantage of your many resources and feel free to reach out to any Jazz Band 1 member for private lessons (they are very helpful and get your skills on point).
NOTE: Please remember to drop the course if you did not make a band this semester. Otherwise you may get fined to drop it or have to pay for it if not addressed. Hope this information helps!
