Jazz Band Information
Jazz Band is made up of 7th and 8th grade students, and plays rock music, swing music, and all types of jazz. The music is fun, makes you want to dance, and is more of a challenge than regular band music. If you would like to play a solo, you can do this in Jazz Band! Students can do both Jazz Band and Jazz Choir by rotating the days they are in each group.
