2013-14 Jazz audition results

Thank you to all who auditioned.  You are all awesome!  Your preparations made the decision making process quite difficult.  Should your name not appear on this list, you then are considered to be an alternate should the current member not remain committed to the ensemble's rehearsals and performances.  I will contact you if a situation for replacement  develops.
