MJHS Jazz Ensemble

The Mariemont Junior High School Jazz Ensemble is an enrichment/extra-curricular activity offered through the MJHS Band Department. Participation in this group is open to all students at the junior high, although prior experience on a musical instrument is a must! The Jazz Ensemble rehearses once or twice a week after school during the third and fourth quarters of the school year. Many of the members of the Jazz Ensemble participate in other school activities such as winter and spring sports, the Junior High Play, Science Club, Art Club, etc.

The Jazz Ensemble rehearses a variety of different styles of jazz music in order to provide a well-rounded enrichment experience to its members in this idiom of music. Styles range from blues to Latin to ballads to big band arrangements and arrangements of popular rock tunes.

The Jazz Ensemble performs at the the Junior High Night of the Arts in May and other events as can be arranged.
