The bands perform in school concerts, school assemblies, community festivals, and honors band programs. The Jazz Band has reached a level of high performance that qualifies them to perform yearly in the spring at the Cleveland Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Instrumental instruction is offered on all band instruments. Small group instrument lessons and full band rehearsals are provided during school hours, in time slots that do not pull out from classroom instruction time, and so as not to compete with students’ many other after school activities.
