• 6th Grade Jazz Lab: Rehearses every Wednesday from 2:30-3:15pm and performs a variety of music styles, including jazz, swing, blues, rock, latin, funk, and more. The group primarily consists of saxophones, trumpets, trombones, piano, bass, and drums. We perform at several concerts throughout the year and students get to play styles of music they don't normally play in 6th grade band. The students learn about improvising and how to come up with a solo on their own without reading music. They also learn to be independent, since many of them are the only one playing their specific part. Jazz Lab is open to any 6th grade band member who's interested in jazz and willing to put in the extra time and effort necessary to be a part of this group.
