Seaside High School Jazz Ensemble

Jazz Ensemble is open to instrumentalists at Seaside High School.  Students must be registered for Symphonic Band, receive director approval, and/or pass an audition to participate in Jazz Ensemble.  The objective of this ensemble is to provide students a small group experience in the study of jazz.  Learning to interpret and play jazz is very much like learning a foreign language.  Our goal will be to provide students an opportunity to study and perform jazz compositions of various styles.   This class earns academic credit.
