Cypress Bay’s Jazz Band class includes very advanced musicians that are proficient on their own instruments; in this band, they will play Swing, Bossa Nova, Pop Music, and other types of Jazz and Black American Music.  To be in this band, musicians must be in one concert band class (Wind Ensemble, Symphonic, or Concert) and are expected attend any after-school rehearsals.

The Jazz band class will also offer a few beginner opportunities but will require much commitment to quickly reach an acceptable level and be able to perform with the rest of the band. It is also a great place for piano, guitar and string bass players to express their musicianship and be able to join an active ensemble.
