The
jazz band is an auditioned
group that begins in late October. There will be two weeks of training
sessions during the jazz band rehearsal time to allow students to
become accustomed to this style of music prior to the auditions.
Auditions/chair placements will be held as needed. |
| Jazz Band meets from
3:20-4:00 on
Wednesdays, and 7:30 to 8:10 on Thursdays. This schedule should
allow the least amount of conflict possible with other activities. The
jazz band will learn the basics of jazz playing and be exposed to music
of a variety of jazz styles. |
The jazz band's performances will include
concerts and contest/festivals. The Howar Jazz Band also performs at
the annual Big Band Dance with the high school jazz bands. These dates
are included in the
handbook. |
