During COVID, musical ensembles at high schools and colleges around the globe were forced to develop solutions to rehearsing while students were dispersed from campus or be forced to disband. The concept and required resources of telematic performance (performing with others online in real time) has been in development since the 1980s. The greatest challenge in telematic performance is reducing latency between musicians, enabling musicians to synchronize their performances with one another in real time. Recently, such platforms as JackTrip, Jamulus, and others have allowed musicians to perform together online with very low latency. But the possibility of performing online is dependent on having a stable and clean internet connection, plus the required audio equipment to capture a musician's performance. As was made evident during COVID, the digital divide must be negotiated and mediated as classrooms were migrated online. And musical performance additionally amplifies these challenges. This presentation will discuss and share the technological and unique social challenges of the migration of the York College Jazz Band to an online format.
