This extra curricular group consists of saxophones, trumpets, trombones, piano, percussion, and bass (keyboard or string). We study and perform music from the wide genre of jazz- from blues to funk and a little of everything in between. Students will complete a short audition to be accepted into this extra ensemble, as we will be building on a basic level of understanding of music literacy and technique. Audition materials and times are available by contacting Mrs. Acy.
We meet every Tuesday and Thursday from 7:00-7:40 am. This is the same format as the “zero hour” rehearsal schedule used by the high school jazz programs,
These are the performance dates for Jazz Ensemble this year. Just like concert band, we need all students at every performance.
