Jazz Band Agenda

Who Are We?

The 9th hour jazz band is made up of instrumental players from both Les Bois' band, orchestra, and choir programs, as well as other students from our school. As of the 2022-2023 school year, we meet on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays from 2:35-3:45. We will spend the year developing our ears, our playing techniques, and our improvisation skills.

Playing Tests & Assignments

What and Why?

Playing Tests are designed to help the students grow individually. Each band at Les Bois will have a weekly playing test over scales, rhythms, or concert music. This material will be covered in class, but students are expected to put the practice time in at home so that the ensemble as a group can grow. Below you will find the rubric for the playing test.
