Swap Days are also part of Jazz & Pop’s projects.
ONE OF THE PROJECTS ALWAYS INCLUDES COMPOSITION/ARRANGING.

November 2024, Brintex Collective will be our band in residence.

n/a

In the weeks leading up to a Band in Residence project, students select compositions on their own and are already thinking about an arrangement to be made during the project.

Typically, for Band in Residence projects, students put together their own bands and students who failed to do so are combined into a band.

Varies for the different projects, depending on their subject and mode of instruction. Students may be assessed by the relevant teachers and/or guest teachers through keeping a logbook, meetings, and/or a performance assessment.

Students are required to make an active contribution to the project’s process and to deliver a performance that meets the project's standards.
