CURRENT STUDENTS: The main educational and ensemble program (grades 8-12) is concluded until November 2025 (when auditions take place) and December 2025 (when rehearsals begin). Have a great summer and fall, friends!
​​​​​
PROGRAM ALUMS: As the main March/April application window for the VJC Alumni Band has closed, we will now only accept applications on instruments for which we have orchestrational need. VJC alums who have interest should still fill out the application form HERE, confirming that interest and a commitment to participate.
​
FRIENDS & FANS: While the main program has concluded, the VJC Alumni Band is still to come, with a concert in Ravenscroft Hall on Saturday, June 28th @ 7:00 p.m. Learn more about that show—and purchase tickets—HERE.
​
​​EDUCATORS: Check out the Flexible Instrumentation Big Band charts from VJC Publications. And hear this great new music on our YouTube channel. VJC Publications offers flex. charts that don't compromise. ​Please note that 100% of every VJC Publication purchase goes back into supporting the educational activities of the Valley Jazz Cooperative.
VJC APPLICATION (STUDENT IN GRADES 8-12)
For Ensembles @ Ravenscroft & MCC
​
Interested in joining the VJC @ Ravenscroft and/or VJC @ MCC? Please fill out the application form below, confirming your interest and commitment to participate. Within 48 hours of applying, you should receive an email response, providing pertinent follow-up information.
​
Please note: Students are asked to provide an email address as part of the application. However, as an increasing number of school districts implement filters to block "outside" emails from reaching students, it is growing more difficult to connect. As such, students are encouraged to provide an alternate (non-district) email address as part of their application. It need not be the student's primary, personal email address, but could be a parent or guardian's email address instead (if that is preferable).
