From rags to swing, latin to rock, funk to fusion, the TLHS Jazz Ensembles cover a wide variety of music for any occasion. Currently, TLHS offers two 18 piece jazz ensembles. Auditions occur before every spring semester.

Jazz Ensemble I is the more advanced ensemble with more advanced music and a faster pace. Some previous jazz experience is recommended, but not required for Jazz Ensemble I.

Jazz Ensemble II is designed to help students understand and appreciate jazz. With a slower pace of rehearsal and fewer performance demands, Jazz Ensemble II is perfect for the student who has never played jazz before but wants to give it a try.
