Seattle Jazz Experience Application
Participation in the Seattle Jazz Experience is by audition only and is open to high school and college jazz ensembles worldwide. There are three divisions – high school, college, and community – and three ensemble categories: large ensemble (11-25), small ensemble (3-10), and vocal ensemble (4-20). For the 2015 festival, community ensembles are restricted to ensembles featuring students ages 14-19, not college-age or adult ensembles.
All ensembles interested in participating must submit two (2) auditions selections, totaling no more than 15 minutes. All audition submissions are submitted online. No CDs, DVDs, or videotapes will be accepted or reviewed.
Ensembles should submit two selections in contrasting styles and tempos that show off the band at its best. There are no other instrumentation or repertoire requirements; there are no application fees. A school may submit audition materials and applications for up to three different ensembles.
The application deadline for the 2015 Seattle Jazz Experience is December 15, 2014. Visit www.seattlejazzexperience.org for details.
