CURRENT STUDENTS: APPLICATIONS ARE NOW BEING ACCEPTED to the main educational & ensemble program for area music students in grades 8-12. Auditions take place throughout November (with all auditions at Ravenscroft in Scottsdale). VJC Indigo (Tuesday nights) and VJC Cerulean (Thursday nights) begin rehearsing in December. VJC Sapphire (Saturday mornings at MCC) begins rehearsing in January. ​We hope you will consider joining the VJC for its 10th anniversary season in 2025-26!
​​​
​​EDUCATORS: Check out the Flexible Instrumentation Big Band charts from VJC Publications. And listen to this great new music on our YouTube channel. New 2025 charts are being released throughout October/November!
VJC Publications offers flex. charts without compromise, designed to sound great—and complete—​with just the minimum instrumentation (11 pieces). And of course, they sound truly spectacular with a full, 18-piece big band. Given the unpredictable nature of band program size from year to year, VJC Publications represents a great investment for any music library.
​​
Please note that 100% of every VJC Publication purchase goes back into supporting the educational activities of the Valley Jazz Cooperative. Also, we now have five Christmas/Holiday big band charts available. Each of them are $10 off through mid-November to help you with your holiday programming! It's our "Martin Special"!
