Our MusiciansCurrentSee our current members page to see whose playing in the band at the moment. We also have a page about some of our "SJ Alumni" VacanciesWe currently have vacancies for trumpet and trombone. If you are interested please email the MD : md@selwynjazz.com for further information. Players should be Grade 8 standard or higher, and should preferably have some experience playing in jazz ensembles AuditionsWe hold auditions for vacancies and for other instruments for our reserve list at the start of Michaelmas term. If you wish to audition then send us an email or see us at next year's Fresher's Fair. Our auditions generally involve sight reading some band pieces, although people are also welcome to bring a pre-rehearsed piece or show us their improvising skills if they wish. The details vary depending on the instrument but you will of course get full details before the audition. Playing with Selwyn JazzIn order to maintain a high standard of playing despite the short terms, we expect band members to make a reasonable attempt to attend all rehearsals. These are every Monday evening during term and are currently held in Trinity Hall music room. Arrangements in Easter Term vary depending on people's availablilties and workload due to exams. However, since May Week is a busy time for us, we expect members to make an effort to come to as many rehearsals as they can in exam term. We like to see it as a healthy revision break! The social side of things is very important to us, so members can expect a few nights out during term, many of which are paid for or subsidised by the band. |
