GRHSJB

The Greater Richmond High School Jazz Band is made up of some of the most talented high school jazz students from the region. Alumni of this ensemble have gone on to major in music at such programs as VCU, Temple, Miami, The New School, Berklee, and at other institutions throughout the U.S.; have studied at summer jazz programs such as the Vail and Berklee Jazz Workshops; and have successfully pursued careers in other disciplines.

Each year the group is selected through auditions that are held in January. Rehearsals are held on Sundays from 2-4 p.m. during the spring semester, culminating with two concerts, one held at Trinity Episcopal School on April 23, 2022, and the second at VCU's Sonia Vlahcevic Concert Hall on May 7, 2022.

Auditions will take place January 3-4, 2022 at VCU's James W. Black Music Center (Room 1003), 1015 Grove Avenue, Richmond, VA. Rehearsals will begin on Sundays starting January 16, 2022 from 2-4 p.m.

To schedule your audition, contact Prof. Toby Whitaker. Download the 2022 brochure[PDF] and complete the schedule consent form[PDF] with the required signatures. Bring these to your January audition. A non-refundable fee of $225 will be due at the first rehearsal.
