Welcome

Welcome prospective Jazz Band members! You have come to the right place. This is the official blog of the Archdiocesan Jazz All Stars for the 2013-2014 school year. My Name is Mr. Myers and I will be this years guest conductor. Please feel free to learn more about me by visiting the bio section of this blog. This years Jazz band will be made up of the very best musicians the Archdiocese of Philadelphia has to offer. We will be taking a journey through the history of Jazz as we perform our show which will showcase our students talents as well as offer a variety of different Jazz styles from throughout history. 

The rehearsal schedule, and audition material will be posted on here shortly so please be sure to check your calendars before auditioning. Students will need to be present at all rehearsals and performances unless given specific permission by myself or Mr. Stimson. I will be posting occasional videos for you to check out as the year goes to help students grasp a greater understanding of styles and concepts discussed in jazz band, so please be sure to check this blog weekly. If your have any questions or need to contact me directly you can do so by leaving a comment on one of the posts here on the blog or by emailing me at dmyers@noolp.org I look forward to meeting you all at your auditions! Best of luck and I look forward to an exciting year!
