We have a drummer planning on auditioning for our band on Sunday, December 1st. Please let me know if you have any additional drum set or guitar recommendations for us to invite for an audition.

Adam is doing “The Mooche,” Jake C is transcribing “Saints,” Jake W is doing “Bourbon Street,” or something else,  Andrew is transcribing “Bill Bailey,” Josh is doing “After You’ve Gone,” and Trevor is transcribing “Washington and Lee Swing.” Copland has already completed and performed his transcription.
