Jazz Band is BACK for the Bruin Band!

Our FIRST practice is this Monday, August 24th! If your student is involved in other after school activities, it is possible for them to still be in jazz band. We will work with their schedules.

Jazz band involves 7th and 8th grade band members. Being in jazz band is optional! Also, students will receive a schedule for the fall semester. Some dates may be subject to change, however, we will do our best to inform you of those changes in a timely fashion. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us. 🎊🎶
