American High School Music Department

Did you know American High has a jazz ensemble? Since the beginning of the 1997-1998 school year, students have been spending hours afterschool learning how to play jazz music, how to improvise, and how to have a great time playing America's modern music. They not only made their debut at the Pops Concert in the spring of 1998, but played for the spring musical, City of Angels, as well. In 2005, there were enough members to split the class into 2 groups.

Be sure to watch for the jazz ensemble in upcoming concerts at school and in the community.
