Solo's or Duet's

Post by fluteluversmom »

Does your school band music give you the opportunity
do to solo''s or duets at concerts? Or is it only the band as a group
performing ? Does your school have a flute choir ? Does your band program have
other groups like Jazz band that flutes can join ? Kim

Solo's or Duet's

Post by dancingflutist3000 »

At school we have a 6th grade jazz band, Jazz Lab
7-8th grade (no audition) and Jazz Experience 7-8th grade (audition). We don't
have solo's or duets play at concerts however there is a yearly solo and
ensemble contest (it's not required) for 7-8th graders which is in 2 weeks.
I'm going to be playing a solo and a duet in that. There are 1st, 2nd, and 3rd
place metals, it's not a competition against others however but a competition
against yourself (if that makes sense)

Wow..it sounds like you have a few things outside of
regular band class. Good luck with your competition in 2 weeks. I like the idea
that it isn't a competition against each other. It sounds like good chance for
students to challenge themselves. Kim

We have a 6th grade jazz band (audition) and a two
jazz bands of 7th and 8th grade bands combined (audition) the good people make
the "tuesday jazz band" and the not so good make the "wednesday jazz band" we
both compete and the tuesday jazz band also tours elementary schools twice a
year and plays. but as far as solos and duets we dont have any
