Jazz Band

The Falcon Jazz Band is an extra-curricular ensemble. Placement for this ensemble is by audition only.  This ensemble will employ the standard big-band instrumentation of saxophones, trumpets, trombones, drums, piano, guitar and bass.  Participants in this ensemble must have strong performance and sight-reading skills, as well as a desire to learn the theory and technique of jazz improvisation, an integral part of the jazz idiom.  Students must be currently enrolled in band class in order to be eligible to participate.  Exceptions to this will only be made for rhythm section players.  Performances will include school concerts, Night of Jazz and Jazz Festivals.
