THE JAZZ DIRECTORS BIG BAND
is comprised of jazz directors from the participating schools.
Music is sent out a few weeks ahead of time and we meet on stage to play it down in front of our students.

There is a field on the online registration form to signify your interest in performing in the band.

Below is information about last year's band.
