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. 

Each audition will last roughly 5-15 minutes. Please visit the jazz website to sign up for your audition time and download audition materials (available July 1st).
