Jazz Band II is a .5 credit course for students playing trumpet, trombone, saxophone, piano, bass, and drums. Students who participate in Jazz Band are from the Freshman Band, Symphonic Band and Wind Ensemble, with some limits on the number of pianos, basses, guitars and drums.
Some of the activities involved with Jazz Band include Solo-Ensemble competition, a weekend trip to the Rolling Meadows Jazz Festival in Chicago, and concert performances. Rehearsals are usually Tuesdays and Fridays before school beginning in January. Occasional sectionals after school may also take place when student schedules permit. Students may sign up for Jazz Band during band class in November.
