Roosevelt Jazz Bands II and III provide an excellent transition for middle school musicians interested in jazz performance. These
bands allow
students to hone their technical skills and learn to explore and express their musical creativity. The students work on fundamentals
such as tone, technique, intonation, expression and rhythm. The groups meet two-three times a week after school, with extra rehearsals as
required, and travel to festivals and competitions throughout the
western United States. They are open to students in grades 9-12. Auditions are held each August prior to the start of school. Unlike the
Vocal Jazz and Jazz Band, Jazz Bands II and III are after-school programs and no credits are earned.
