Venue

• Jazz bands perform in the Rainbow Theatre in the Whistler Convention Centre.

Scheduling

Performances and Workshops

• Jazz bands perform on Friday – Saturday, April 16-17.
• Jazz bands have a 30 minutes for their warmup, 30 minute performance, and 50 minute workshop. These events happen back to back.
• Plan to arrive at the Convention Centre 20 minutes before your warmup to get unpacked and get your instruments ready.
  • The warmup room is Tantalus. There are no stands in the Tantalus room. Please do not bring stands from other rooms.
  • The workshop rooms are Spearhead and Wedgemount.
    • Wait to be escorted. Please do not take yourselves to the warmup. It causes confusion and delays when our staff cannot find their assigned ensembles.
• Feel free free to stay and watch other ensembles perform. We love a good audience!

Music

• There are no required standards for Jazz bands.
• If you are looking for some repertoire ideas, visit our Master Repository.

Scores

• You will need to bring 3 scores – 2 for the adjudicators and 1 for yourself.
