Jazz Band is an extra-curricular music group which can also receive a small amount of class credit. Students can be in the group strictly on an extra-curricular level or also register for ¼ class credit per year. Participation in Jazz Band is open to students in instrumental music who have shown a desire and commitment to a more in-depth study of jazz music and its performance. Students will have the opportunity to play big band music and learn the basics of improvisation and jazz history. Instrumentation includes trumpets, trombones, saxes, guitars, drums and piano. Trumpets, trombones, saxes, and drummers in Jazz Band are expected to also participate in Concert Band or Wind Symphony.
Performance expectations include Advent Concert, Spring Tour, Spring Concert, home basketball games, and grade school tour days.
Jazz Band requires an audition. It meets for the full school year on Tuesday and Thursday mornings before school. Jazz Band is open to grades 9, 10, 11, and 12.
