Director - Mr. Zachary Huwalt
NEW ENSEMBLE CLUB for the 2026-2027 school year!
About Jazz Band
Students in grades 7-12 will learn the exciting world of jazz in this ensemble. Students will learn different styles such as rock, blues, swing, Latin, contemporary, improvinisation and much more. Enrollment in an official WCS band classes is not required for Jazz Band, but students are expected to have proficiency on the instrument they wish to play.
Instruments in jazz band are usually alto saxophone, tenor saxophone, baritone saxophone, trombone, trumpet, percussion and bass. However, we welcome students such as clarinet, flute and French horn if they want to try it (or learn a secondary instrument)!
Performances
The jazz band will perfom in school opportunities with other WCS band ensembles. Students will perform in a main concert usually in April and other small performances in the spring semester.
Upcoming Events
All events are subject to change. Families should frequently check their student's Google Classroom & ParentSquare for weekly updates, performance reminders, and other details. Please reach out to the Band Director if there is an issue. Jazz Band events for WCHS are shown in blue and are available in the NWES/WCMS calendar.
