Jazz Band 1 meets on a daily basis during the zero hour period which is before school and is open to all members of the Wind Ensemble and Symphonic Band who can perform on an appropriate instrument. The group studies a variety of contemporary musical styles (Jazz, Rock, Swing, "Big Band", Latin, etc.) with additional emphasis on building skills in jazz improvisation. Acceptance into the group is based on a prepared audition and band director's approval. Jazz Band performs at concerts, local and regional festivals and for other special events. Attendance at ALL performances is required.

Jazz 2 will be offered if enough interest is generated. Jazz 2 is an open ensemble that does not require an audition for membership.
