Congratulations to the Cherokee Jazz Band for being one of only two schools awarded a Gold rating at the NJAJE State Jazz Preliminaries. Cherokee hosted the event on Wednesday, March 6th in the school's Performing Arts Center.
The Chiefs also won Outstanding Trumpet section. And, senior Bryana Crockett won the soloist award for percussion.
This event was one of a series of five jazz preliminary competitions, or "prelims", held at various schools around New Jersey. Throughout the five prelims, 60 to 70 schools audition for the opportunity to be one of the top nine scoring bands that go on to a final round held later this spring.
In this final round, the top three bands from each division are given the honor to perform at the New Jersey State Jazz Ensemble Gala, which is sponsored by the New Jersey Association for Jazz Education (NJAJE). This is a non-competitive concert with special awards for soloists and sections.
Prelim results will be released some time the week of March 11th.
Thanks to Vinny Goffin for the recording of their performance.
The annual All-State Band auditions were held on January 19th, 2019 at John P. Stevens High School in Edison, NJ. Students from New Jersey’s three Region Honors Bands were eligible to register for the audition.
The Cherokee High School Instrumental Music Department directors and administration sponsored nine students for the All-State Band auditions. The Cherokee High School Band Director, Michael Lynch, attended the auditions and participated as a Region III judge and/or moderator.
Each student was required to perform all twelve major scales and/or the percussive rudiments, a select chromatic scale, two select solo excerpts, and a challenging short piece that was sight-read during the audition. The students studied and rehearsed the required materials for countless hours and worked closely with Cherokee band directors and private instructors to ensure the highest levels of performance.
Congratulations to the following students for winning a position with an All-State Band/Orchestra:
ALL STATE WIND ENSEMBLE 2019
Meghan Correll - Eb Alto Clarinet; 1st Chair
