The JHS Jazz band is a co-curricular ensemble that meets weekly on Friday mornings. Membership to the jazz band is open to any current Concert Band student who is interested in learning how to “swing”, “jive,”, “salsa”, and have a fun time. The ensemble performs concurrently with the Concert Band at 3 major concerts a year.

Jazz Band information and sign-up occured during the first week of school. Now that the year is underway, see Mr.Burnside if you are interested in joining Jazz Band!
