Are you a middle schooler thinking about joining the band in high school or a high schooler thinking of adding jazz to their next-year schedule? That's awesome! We'd be happy to have you! Here's the process depending on your grade.
For Eighth Graders at NRMS
At some point during the spring, our conductor will come to the middle school to offer auditions to anyone interested. Schedule your audition with him when he comes and you're good to go! Just do your best! You'll hear the results relatively soon afterward. As for planning your ninth grade schedule, since you probably have to do that before finding out the results, it's generally a good idea to plan it with the idea of getting in, but with a back up class request in case you don't. Good luck!
For Ninth, Tenth, and Eleventh Graders at NRHS
At some point during the spring, our conductor will put up a sign announcing jazz band sign-ups in the band room, and sometimes around the school as well. Talk to him to schedule your audition, prepare, and do your best! You should hear the results relatively soon afterward. As for planning your next-year schedule, it's generally a good idea to plan it with the idea of getting in, but with a back up class request in case you don't. Good luck!
Good luck everyone! It's way better than you might think!
