Jazz Band Information
Jazz band is an extracurricular ensemble that meets twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7:30 am to 8:10 am. Jazz band rehearsals will start around the the end of August or early September. The jazz band performs standards and new jazz selections in blues, swing, latin jazz and rock styles by a variety of artists. The jazz band performs twice each year at Phillips and also performs regularly at the Elon Jazz Festival at Elon University in February. The jazz band has also performed for events in our community. The jazz ensemble is primarily for 7th and 8th graders, but a 6th grade jazz band may be formed during second semester if there is enough interest. All instruments are welcome to participate!
