Made with Xara Jazz Band The Jazz Band is open to students in Grades 9-12.  It is recommended that you are in a concert band class before you decide to participate in Jazz Band unless you have spoken to Mr. James.  Rhythm section does not need to be in a concert band class. Selection of students is by audition to insure a balanced band of instruments.  This group meets after school, after Marching Band season has ended, and goes until the end of the year.  The ensembles consist of the horn section (saxophone, trumpet, trombone) and the rhythm section (guitar, piano, bass guitar, drums and percussion). The Marvin Ridge Jazz Band performs annually at the Cabaret event usually scheduled in February or early March.
