We offer three jazz bands, based on playing ability. All three bands are conducted by Ms. West.

Jazz Ensemble

Jazz Ensemble is the most advanced group in our program, and is for students who already have experience playing jazz and want to take their skills to the next level. Jazz Ensemble meets during the school day and is a registered class.

Stage Band

Stage Band is for students who have mostly participated in jazz at the middle school level or for one year or more at AHS. Stage Band meets during the school day and is a registered class.

Jazz Orchestra

Jazz Orchestra is for students who are new to jazz or want to explore the style, or students who are focusing on developing their playing or music reading fundamentals. Jazz Orchestra meets after school for one rehearsal each week.
