About our Jazz/pep Program
Jazz Studies is our advanced placement jazz class that focuses on jazz improvisation, jazz theory, scale application jazz history, listening/ear training, and jazz composition and song writing. Participation requires a teacher invite based off of ability and theory knowledge. This class meets 2nd hour all year round and performs in a wide variety of venues from the coffee house to concert halls. The group travels all across the state and occasionally out of state to perform jazz at festivals and events. Jazz Band is our extra-curricular group and covers pep band, full jazz ensemble music and more! Most years this class meets as a zero hour and is offered for .5 fine arts credit. Participation requires teacher approval and students must play a jazz instrument. Trumpet, Trombone, Saxes, piano, vibes, drums, bass, or guitar. Pep Band is a group that anyone grades 7-12 can participate in, but they must play an instrument that can read Bb, Eb, or Bass clef in the winds or any rhythm section instrument. This group will meet on Thursday nights from 6-8pm. They will play selected basketball games at the HS and MS. |
