The Lawrence Community Jazz Ensemble provides advancing high school musicians an opportunity to learn and perform in a traditional big band setting. Students will perform engaging jazz charts in an ensemble of motivated peers from across northeast Wisconsin. An eight-week session will culminate with a performance during the final class session.

Interested students (in particular but not limited to: trumpet, trombone, saxophone, guitar, piano, bass, and drums) should submit an audition form and a performance video. Accepted students will be sent the registration link directly from the LCMS office. Registration will remain open until all positions are filled.
