This class currently meets sixth hour. This is a small ensemble, approximately 20-25 students. Jazz Band plays for many community events during the school year, plays in the Winter & Spring Concerts, and has its own concert in the spring. Jazz Band provides their own attire for performances. This commonly consists of black shoes/black socks, black pants, and a sharp black fleece, new this year.
