Middle and high school students have the opportunity to focus on jazz style, improvisation, and playing in a big band environment through the Spartan Youth Jazz program.
This program offers two ensembles: one for middle school students, and one for high school students.
Both ensembles will participate in at least 2 performances throughout the semester and even work with various professional jazz musicians from throughout the state.
Students do not need to audition or have prior jazz experience. However, one year playing experience and continued participation in the school's jazz program (if applicable) is desired.
