-The
Shasta county All Star jazz Project
-
The Straight Ahead Big Band
Institute is a non-profit
corporation that has been created to
carry on the work of promoting and
preserving Big Bands, Big Band Jazz
and the music of the Big Band Era,
through live performance, education
and work with youth groups. We are
pleased to announce this year the
first annual Shasta County All-Star
Project, the week of June 16th. It
is our hope to bring together the
best and brightest young local jazz
musicians for a one week series of
clinics, rehearsals and lectures to
promote jazz music and student
leadership.
We will be taking applications
from interested student musicians
from the eighth grade level to
college students from the local area
under 21 years of age. From the pool
of applicants we hope to assemble
two standard big bands of
approximately 15-20 members each.
Student applicants must have a
record of good citizenship,
leadership, desire to learn and
strong musicianship. Each must be
recommended in writing by a band
teacher or instrumental instructor,
and must have written permission
from parents to participate.
Auditions on CD will be required
with a $5.00 non-refundable
processing fee. After the auditions
have been evaluated by our chosen
panelists, students will be offered
a chance to participate in the week’s
activities. There will then be a
$100 tuition required
The Shasta County All- Star
Project will provide the
participating musicians with
learning opportunities in music
theory, music management,
improvisation, with sectional and
full band rehearsals, and
performances by clinicians as well
as the students. We anticipate this
being another part of the fine music
experience available right here in
Shasta County and hope you will join
us in making it happen.
