Jazz Band II

Jazz Band II

The Jazz Band II is the second of two jazz ensembles at Wheeling High School. It is open to all grades levels and meets twice a week, once before school and one evening. Students are encouraged to study privately to improve both their ensemble playing and their improvisational skills. Scholarship money is available for interested students who need assistance. The Jazz Band II performs outstanding original compositions for a developing jazz ensemble as well as world-class arrangements of jazz standards. The group has performed with numerous guest artists including Art Davis, Tom Garling, Tim Coffman, and many others. The Jazz Band II serves as an extremely rewarding musical experience while also preparing those interested students for Jazz Band I.
