JAZZ ENSEMBLES

This group is for student musicians (8th - 12th) who wish to learn basic skills and techniques on their instrument in jazz style in a large ensemble setting.  Students will be exposed to some diverse styles of music such as swing, latin, bepop, regtime, and pop/rock/jazz fusion, in big band arrangement.  Like any extra curricular ensemble, participating students can earn points toward their Varsity Letter.
