Holy Cross has student-led jazz combos, allowing each student to explore the jazz genre even more and improve their skills with friends.

One of our current jazz combos, Flavo, is composed of six Grade 12 students, coming from a wide range of musical skill and experience. Together they have expanded their knowledge and passion for jazz music by means of their own arrangements. With humble beginnings, Flavo has learned to work together and discovered the absolute importance of communication between musicians. 

In the previous years, they have performed at the 2020 Surrey Jazz Festival, the 2021 TEDxYouth Tynehead Regional Park Conference, the 2021 Richmond Night market along with several Holy Cross Music events.

Our Music Department offers a chance to be in a student-lend Indie/Rock combo, this combo gives opportunities to students to learn more about this Indie genre of music and improve their overall understanding of music exploration. 

Our current Indie/Rock Combo is Groovy, this group is made up of six female Grade 11 students, all coming from different musical talents to join and make a new musical experience. As a group, they have enlarged their knowledge and excitement for Indie/Rock music, working together to make new arrangements and trying new things to see what works best. This group has taught members the best thing about music is being able to, and inspired to share their love of music with each other and all audiences. In the past year, they performed in the 2 combo recitals during Christmas and Halloween, as well as playing in various Holy Cross Music Events.

FUN FACTS: Groovy has been learning all the songs they have performed by ear.

Groovy. Better bakers than Flavo.
