Jazz Band

Jazz Band is an audition-based, select ensemble.  We meet from September through the Spring Concert and District-Wide Jazz Festival.

Rehearsals:

Jazz Band rehearsals are before-school only.  They are held every Tuesday and Thursday, beginning at 8:00 a.m.  Rehearsals are mandatory.

Responsibilities:

Jazz band music is more difficult than the material that is studied in concert band.  Students are required to work on the music on their own time or with a private teacher.  Their school instrumental lesson will not cover jazz band music since not all students participate in jazz band.  The work is entirely on the student, mostly outside of school hours.  Jazz is open to the following instruments:  alto, tenor, bari saxophones, trumpet, trombone, baritone horns, drum set, vibes, piano, and bass.

Audition information:

Auditions for Jazz Band will be held September 9, 10, 11. CLICK HERE TO SCHEDULE YOUR CHILD FOR AN AUDITION.  The audition music was given out in the Spring, and also posted in the kids' Google Classrooms.  Rehearsals will start September 16.
