Jazz Band
Club Outline
WWHS Jazz Band is a co-curricular ensemble with a long history and tradition in the South Huntington school community that meets weekly. This band plays NYSSMA level 5 & 6 music as well as classic big band tunes and arrangements from the last 100 years. WWHS Jazz Band is a very rigorous, audition only group and any WWHS student can audition in grades 9-12. The band consists of saxophones, trombones, trumpets, drum set, keyboard, guitar, and bass players. The Jazz Band performs at two evening concerts and NYSSMA Majors Festival if applicable. All performances are mandatory and members must wear the required concert attire.
This year the jazz band will be meeting virtually each week to work on music, participate in listening activities, discuss jazz history and explore all things jazz! Meeting day and time are TBD. For now, Jazz Band meets are limited to students currently in the HS Jazz Band and 9th grade students who were in Stimson Jazz Band.
