Jazz Ensemble is a fun and exciting performance ensemble in the Lafayette Band Program that focuses on performing the styles of swing, latin, funk, and rock music. The members of the Jazz Ensemble work together on both ensemble performance and individual jazz improvisation. We will rehearse a dynamic variety of repertoire for multiple performances throughout the school year. A high level of proficiency and commitment to musical growth is expected that will serve as a challenging and rewarding experience for our performers.
The Jazz Ensemble consists of alto saxophones, tenor saxophones, baritone saxophone, trumpets, trombones, piano, guitar, bass (upright and electric), drums, and auxiliary percussion (vibes and latin percussion).
