Jazz Band Informational Meeting for all interested students AND PARENTS:  Monday, November 7th, 6-6:30 pm in the MS Band Room!

Jazz Band is a co-curricular opportunity open to all 7th & 8th Grade Band members. The Jazz Bands perform rock, swing, blues and other styles of jazz. The Jazz Band season runs from Nov.-April, with a Jazz Band Concert in March, performances on the April band concert, and an possible MS Jazz Festival.

BOTH 7th grade Jazz Band AND 8th grade Jazz Band will rehearse on Monday nights from 6-7:30 p.m. in the Middle School Music Suite.

All 7th-8th grade Band members are welcome to participate.  WCMS students who are not in Band, but are interested in Jazz Band, should meet with Ms. Braun.

The only requirement is a willingness to work hard, attend rehearsals and have fun!

Each Jazz Band usually performs 1-2 concerts per year and may attend a MS Jazz Festival, perform for another school or perform at a Senior Center.
