The Brookwood Jazz Band offers students a chance to explore one of the most exciting and expressive forms of music while continuing to build strong ensemble and performance skills. This group focuses on a wide collection of jazz styles—from swing and blues to funk and Latin—and gives students the opportunity to grow as both individual musicians and as part of a tight-knit team.

 

The ensemble meets during 1st block both semesters, with occasional after-school rehearsals as needed for performances. While we aim to build a standard big band instrumentation, the Jazz Band operates with flexible membership based on student interest and instrumentation each year.

 

The Jazz Band performs annually at the Brookwood Choir & Jazz Spring Concert, and occasionally participates in festivals and community events, proudly representing Brookwood High School and the values of our band program: discipline, tradition, and family.

 

Membership is open to any Brookwood High School student who plays a traditional jazz instrument, and no prior jazz experience is required. Students will work on reading charts, understanding jazz style, and developing skills in improvisation and musical expression—all in a supportive, fun, and encouraging environment.

​

Whether you’re an experienced player or new to jazz, the Brookwood Jazz Band is a great way to challenge yourself musically while being part of something creative, collaborative, and meaningful.
