    Hampton City Schools Jazz Ensemble

    Mr. Scott Schneider Director


    sschneider@hampton.k12.va.us
    757-268-3506 office


    What is it?: The Hampton City Schools Jazz Ensemble recognizes and honors talented H.S. and M.S.
    musicians in the city of Hampton. The purpose of this ensemble is to give exceptional jazz
    musicians more instruction in the jazz genre and with improvisation, and to allow more open doors
    for performances and gigs.

    Instrumentation and First Read: Ensemble is open to all middle school and high school
    musicians, including those that dont play traditional jazz band instruments. Students must be a
    member of their own schools concert band, but dont need to have any previous jazz experience.
    All participants need to be recommended by their director. Any middle or high school musician
    who was placed in the All-District Honor Band last year need not audition to be placed in this group,
    but must communicate with the director. All other musicians, including all rhythm section
    musicians (like bass, electric guitar, piano, drum set), need to do a First Read with Mr. Schneider
    to be placed in this group. The first read is a casual and quick audition (no pressure involved.)
    The musicians should show up to the Phenix Band room (1061 Big Bethel Road, Hampton, VA
    23666) sometime between 2:30pm and 5:30pm on Tuesday, Oct. 20th, or Wednesday, Oct 21st.
    Drum set, digital piano, and Bass/Amp will be provided. The first read material will include four
    scales: Concert Bb, Concert Eb, Concert F, and Concert Ab, and some sightreading.

    Rehearsals: Rehearsals are most Thursdays, from 4:30-5:45pm, at the Phenix Band Room. Each
    participating student should expect to make nearly all rehearsals, and must make all effort to
    perform at all our concerts and gigs. (Some gigs pay cash.) Accommodations can be made for some
    absences if the student knows his/her part, and with Mr. Schneiders approval. Excessive absences
    will result in dismissal from the ensemble. Drum set, Piano, and Bass Guitar/Amp will be provided
    at rehearsal. We rehearse only once per week, mainly on Thursdays, (Nov. 5, *12, 19, Dec. 3, 10, 17,
    Jan. 7, 21, Feb. 11, 25, March 3, 17, 31,) ..and a few Tuesdays, (Jan 12, 26, Feb 2, 16, March 22, and
    29.) Additional rehearsals would be scheduled only if we have extra gigs later than April.
    *note: Thursday, Nov. 12th is a Masterclass with Jazz great, Brian Culberson
