Performing Groups

Jazz Band rehearses and performs many genres of music. Some genres include traditional jazz, blues, rock, funk, samba, cha-cha, fusion, and avant-garde. The ensemble will perform at various concerts and contests throughout the year.  We will generally use trumpets, trombones, saxophones, drums, piano, bass, guitar, and vibraphone.
