Music Collective

The Music Collective/Jazz Band is a by-audition group that is one of the top ensembles at Brookline High. Students in this ensemble usually have some background and understanding of jazz playing and theory. Repertoire is chosen with an emphasis on developing improvisational techniques as well as improving ensemble collaborative arranging and performing. Members of this class perform at festivals and evening concerts, which can require extra time outside of class. The group also travels every other year during either February or April vacation. Auditions are held in February or early March. All Jazz Band/Music Collective students are also enrolled in Concert Band. Grade: 9-12 Prerequisite: By Audition & Enrollment in Concert Band Credit: 1
