Big Band Jazz

Entrance into the Big Band is by audition and/or invitation only. Concurrent enrollment in Concert Band, Symphonic Wind Ensemble, or Percussion Ensemble is required for EVERYONE except Piano, Guitar and Bass players. The MRHS Big Band is a premiere ensemble that performs professional level jazz literature. Students accepted in this ensemble must demonstrate the highest levels of maturity, preparation habits, and musicianship. Participation on the Spring Trip is expected for members of this ensemble. There is significant cost associated with the trip. Students can fund raise to offset these costs. Private instruction is strongly recommended for students wishing to be in this ensemble.
