Make plans to join the Jazz Catz at Carroll Senior High School for the prestigious Apex Jazz Festival.

This invitation only performance features the jazz ensembles from Colleyville Heritage, Birdville, and Carroll Senior as well as the grammy award winning UNT One O’clock Jazz Band!

Beginning March 20th, we will hear chair placement auditions for next semester (Fall 2023).

The wind audition will consist of the following:

• Concert E and F Scale

• Chromatic Scale

• 2 Etudes

The percussion audition will consist of the following:

• Scales

• Rudiments

• Brief Sightreading

This process helps the counselors plan for arena scheduling, set music assignments for the Varsity marching band, and set the three concert bands for the Winter Concert.

We re-audition for the spring semester in November. Remember - we do not “cut” any student. Everyone has a place in the CHHS Band.

Practice!

You're invited to join the Disney 2023 “Group Me” for families to get information before and during the trip.

We will also post FAQs there (for example - The Concert Band is combined with the Symphonic Band on the performance day! And we are checking instruments on the plane! And we are flying out of Dallas Love Field)

Details are still coming together…check out the updated schedule…and stay tuned!

At this point, all trip fees should be paid!

The band is in need of some donations to help our program run more smoothly. Please check out the band wishlist!
