CCM Musical Theatre's annual "Jam Band" is part of a class recital/”jam” that features sophomore, junior and senior Musical Theatre majors performing popular music hits backed by a band of CCM student instrumentalists and a student sound engineer. They work with faculty and a music directing student all year to prepare covers and mashups of hit songs from the worlds of rock, RnB, pop and more. Jam Band was started by CCM Musical Theatre professors Sarah Folsom and Keyona Willis to help their students develop the commercial music skills that are required in today's Musical Theatre industry — things like mic technique, creating new song arrangements, writing lead sheets, working with instrumentalists and performing a wide range of vocal styles.
