Spring '09 Jazz Concert
The Jazz Band(s) are made up of student musicians from Legend HS School who are also members of Wind Ensemble, Concert, Symphonic, and Marching Bands. With the exception of specialized rhythm players i.e. Guitar, Bass and as needed Piano, students must also belong to one of the above mentioned groups. The Legend High School Jazz ensemble provides an opportunity for students to expand their jazz experience through improvisation and the high level performance of age and ability appropriate Jazz band literature. Students in this group must be committed to focused group practice during class and individual practice outside the regular school day. Students must show and demonstrate consistent improvement during a grading period to attain a grade of “A” in the class. Private music lessons are encouraged and highly recommended! Attendance is required at all dress rehearsals and performances.
Spring '09 Jazz Concert
Students in this ensemble will perform at local, regional, state and national venues. The jazz band is considered one of the elite music ensembles in the performing arts at LHS. Students in this ensemble must be enrolled in the class for both semesters.
The Jazz band is an audition only ensemble. Membership will be based off an extensive audition process in the spring of the previous year. (Usually in April or May)
This ensemble will also host festivals at Legend HS, as well as hosting professional and guest artists that will work with the group in master class settings.
