Perform for Jazz Professionals.
Each year the Middle School and High School Jazz Bands travel to River Falls, Wisconsin to perform for a clinician and improve their skills. The trip includes a hotel stay with pizza, a performance, a clinic, and a concert by the University of River Falls Jazz Band.
Play fun tunes.
The jazz bands play a variety of music, from pop, funk, swing, bebop, blues, and more. The music can be challenging, the the small group setting makes it a different experience than that of the concert band.
