We are so glad that our 6th grade students get to participate in this field trip each year! Jazz band plays an essential role, not just in our program, but our whole school. It is a true culmination of our programs, combining concert band, orchestra, and chorus into one group that we can then show to our community. Students get a chance to play new styles of music on their instrument, learn a new instrument, or play an instrument they already know but wouldn’t get into in our primary band/orchestra classes (piano, bass guitar, drum set).
While we don’t have a jazz band class just yet, we are excited that it was added as option in our course selections! Selections may have already happened, but it is not too late to reach out to our guidance team to sign up for the class! Remember that jazz band is not open to incoming beginning band/orchestra students and that any student who wishes to do jazz band must be a part of a primary band/orchestra class as well.
