                RAMPART ROCK'N JAZZ,  Inc.               

Doo-wop, Classic Rock, R&B Alto and Soprano vocalists needed!

More female vocalists needed for doo-wop to classic Rock & Roll, R&B, covers. Do you like "Moondance" by Van Morrison? We do too, so come sing it and many others like it with us! We need more vocalists for 4-8 part harmony arrangements! We would like to have 2+ for each voice section so we can schedule all the gig requests. All sections, ages, and genders. Altos, sopranos, tenors please apply. Must be able to harmonize and read some basic sheet music, although we provide CDs with your part on them for your own practice at home. We rehearse as a group once a week. It costs nothing to join (no dues).

OUR MISSION:

In 2004, Rampart Rock’n Jazz, Inc. (RRJ) was formed and in 2006 gained its non-profit status as a 501 (c) 3 (fully certified IRS tax-deductible) volunteer, musical organization in Woodland Park, CO.  RRJ has formed to promote vocal and instrumental music oriented towards younger participants and audiences, including the baby boomer generation, beyond what is currently available in our community, year-round.  The vocal (choral harmony) portion of that genre has historically been lacking, locally, and we have plans to solve that gap, as our initial step.  We have long-term desire to bring several concerts yearly which educate, involve and excite the youth and children of our Southern Colorado area.  Our Christmas holiday concert which intends to include youth performers and gift bags for disadvantaged youth attendees, is one example.  (We need your donations to be able to purchase these gift bags/contents for the disadvantaged, local, children.)  Our charter is to excite the youth and 'baby-boomers' of Teller County to our concerts and genre!

In general, we are focused on presenting Woodland Park, Divide, Cripple Creek, Florissant, and surrounding communities, the combination of musical types you would see at a modern jazz festival (typically), Jazz, Soul, Blues, Soft (classic) Rock, and maybe some folk music, with a concentration on the vocal presentation, both a cappella, and with minimal instrumental accompaniment, with concentration on 1950s-present music.

If you wish to promote this type of musical presentation in Teller County, please send your tax-deductible donation to:
