Swing Group is a jazz band featuring saxophones, clarinets and rhythm section; and every year we audition for two conductors.
Our rehearsals are every Wednesday during term time from 6:30-8:30pm in the Dalton Room.
We don’t require you to audition for a place in the band but may have to split our rhythm section between the other groups if there are too many people. We also have a small number of instruments available for you to use if you haven’t brought your own to uni or want to try out something new!
We play typical jazz standards and also arrangements of popular music.
Our performances include the concerts with Big Band in the Jazz Christmas Snowcase and the Jazz Night; the Castle Concert at Lancaster Castle; the ULMS Summer Showcase; as well as collaborations with the Swing Dance Society.
