The winter jazz program is held two Saturdays a month and ends with a public concert in late April early May and a performance at the annual swing dance fundraiser.
Any 8-12th grade musician may audition. Students who are in 6th and 7th grade who play like an older child should come out and show us what you do at auditions.
Many regional high schools have no or little jazz ensemble education for their students. Schools have fine student musicians that either do not make it into their jazz bands because of limited space or could not participate because of scheduling. The N.Y.M.P. would like to create a musically challenging jazz experience for these students.
The main goal of the N.Y.M.P. is to give music students who have little opportunity to play jazz, a chance to take part in a high quality jazz big band experience. Instruments involved include traditional big band instrumentation: sax, trumpet, trombone, percussion students with at least one year of set experience, piano, guitar, and bass guitar. Other instrumentalists may also be accepted. The jazz program will be held every other Saturday morning from 10:00 a.m. to noon. The program will be held at one of two locations the Superior Middle School 3626 Hammond Avenue Superior WI 54880 or Hermantown Middle School 4307 Ugstad Road Hermantown, MN 55811.
