UO jazz ensembles (Big Bands, Combos, Latin Jazz Ensemble, Jazz Guitar Ensemble) are open to all University of Oregon students (including Part-time and Continuing Education students) by audition, regardless of major.

Auditions for the UO jazz ensembles are held during Week of Welcome each Fall. A single audition is used to place students in Big Bands, Combos, Latin, and Guitar ensembles. Students auditioning for these ensembles in the Fall term need not re-audition in Winter or Spring terms. 

Please visit the ensemble website for audition information, including excerpts (available August 1st) and sign-ups.
