Jazz Ambassadors
The Missoula All-City Program is proud of the music and dedication to jazz education. We have developed an All-City Jazz Ambassador program for our more experienced and returning high school members.
Jazz Ambassadors are recommended by their Band Directors as well as All-City Staff and are expected to demonstrate the following:
-
A leader in their high school music program
-
A great ATTITUDE in the group in which you are performing
-
A positive mentor working with the Middle School Musicians
-
A dedicated musician committed to improving
Facets of responsibility demonstrated and exemplified in the All-City Program consist of:
-
Being on time (early!)
-
Being responsible for your equipment & music
-
Being prepared for each rehearsal
-
Letting staff know of absences and/or conflicts in a professional manner
-
Helping set-up and tear-down rehearsals
-
Helping with performance logistics (attendance, equipment, programs)
-
Attend all Middle School rehearsals for which you are assigned
The Missoula All-City Jazz Program chooses its Jazz Ambassadors with discretion. As a result of this special designation all yearly registration fees of Jazz Ambassadors are waived.
If you are a returning member and high school musician in the Missoula All-City Jazz Program, you are eligible for this unique and important designation. Email Rob Tapper at Rob.tapper@mso.umt.edu for more information.
