The Eagle Jazz Band rehearsal times switch between Thursday mornings from 7:15am to 7:50am and Thursday afternoons from 2:45pm to 4:15pm; it is directed by Craig Gonci. A monthly schedule is available online or in the band room.
Jazz band is an extra curricular activity and is open to 7/8 musicians based on an audition process.
Attending the required weekly large group rehearsals is essential to a quality experience for the student and ensures excellence in the music program. Missing three or more rehearsals or three or more lessons/sectionals can hinder student progress and may hinder the musical progress of the student. Of course, situations arise and we always encourage speaking with the director to work through this - child, parent and teacher. The ensemble director will notify you if your student has missed a third rehearsal or third ensemble/sectional so that you are aware of the situation.
