Jazz Band

On Monday, we move to a new phase of the year and start jazz band rehearsals before school. Jazz band is open to 7th and 8th grade band students who are willing to make a commitment to rehearse before school and who want to learn about jazz. We spend a lot of time talking about the basics of jazz and building a good foundation from which to grow.

Since it can be difficult for students who live in Colfax to make a rehearsal in Mingo before school, I have made a compromise--we rehearse at the elem. on Monday and Wednesday at 7:15 and in Mingo to Tuesday at 7:30. I do this hoping that students can make 2 of the 3 practices.
