Our second jazz band at Sioux Falls Washington High School is made up of jazz performers at all experience levels. We place emphasis on learning lots of different styles and learning how to play them accurately. This ensemble meets for half of a lunch period for 4 days each week. This group performs at the Pop, Popcorn and Jazz Concert, Prism Concert and Dessert and Jazz Concert. Jazz II also performs and competes at several jazz band competitions in the region. Members of this group may also participate in All-City Jazz and/or All-State Jazz.
