You can see the jazz band basketball game schedule by clicking the “Calendar” tab above. Members should arrive no later than 6:30pm to set up. We will begin playing after the JV game has finished.

The band is done after our half-time performance which is usually around 8-8:30pm. Students can then either a) go to the gym to attend the rest of the basketball game, or b) go home. Students are not permitted to just “hang out” in the band room or auditeria after their performance.
