New Jersey Honors Jazz Choir Audition Results
Hi all, and thanks to everyone for your patience with our new process. Special thanks to our esteemed panel of audition adjudicators, who worked very hard to put together this year's ensemble from a field of very strong auditions submitted. And thanks to all singers for making for an exciting listening experience - your work is terrific. Keep it up!
A brief word about our process. The adjudication panel was comprised of four highly qualified musicians and educators, who listened to each submission blindly, and without slate, so no judge knew the name or school of any student who auditioned. Singers were referred to by number only. Each video was heard by all 4 judges at the same time, and each audition was played through the same playback system. The judges also never saw any video, so video quality had no bearing on any scoring decision.
Finally, there will always be feelings of joy and disappointment after any audition result is posted. Allow yourself to feel those emotions, but then, no matter your personal result, feel proud that you had the courage to put yourself out there. We are glad to have heard each of you.
