What We Do:
Students audition in early October (November for Santa Barbara). JCM matches students into small ensemble teams (2-5 players) according to level, age, and location.
Students later meet their teams and learn about the numerous opportunities available at a November Orientation Meeting (January for Santa Barbara). Along with a JCM coordinator, teams develop a rehearsal and coaching schedule to reach the goals of the team. Students perform in a variety of performances from March - May.
*We encourage requests for particular group members, coaches, and repertoire, and do our best to accomodate when we can.
