Jazz Ensembles are open to all students in grades 9-12 who are enrolled in a band class (few exceptions in case of guitar and piano players). These groups meet after school during the fall and spring semesters. The 1st band (Jazz I) is selected by audition, while the 2 nd band (Jazz II) is open to all (appropriate instrumentation). Students must have the director's approval to participate in this activity. The jazz band performs in many concerts on and off campus throughout the year and is a very popular organization. Members in grades 10-12 may audition for the Mid-State Jazz Bands.
