Junior Jazz Band
In the first three weeks of school, students from all grades audition for available positions in the Senior, Intermediate, and Junior Jazz Bands. All three groups perform in concerts, festivals, and dances throughout the school year. The Junior Jazz Band also performs and engages in clinics on the annual Grade 10 Concert Band tour.
The focus of the Junior Jazz Ensemble is to continue to build skills in various jazz styles and to continue to build improvisation techniques. Students enrolled in this course also participate in a beginning study of the history of jazz music and a study of professional performers in the jazz idiom, both past and present.
