The EMMS Jazz Band is an after school ensemble directed by Mr. Burns in which students develop ensemble musicianship through styles associated with jazz. Such styles include swing, funk, bebop, rock, pop, fusion, and Latin, to name a few.

The Jazz Band meets after school once a week from the end of the school day until 4:45 pm. This day has traditionally been Wednesday. Mr. Burns will provide more information about the Jazz Band during the first months of the school year.

The Jazz Band is open to instrumentalists in our band program, and outside of it, and is in unique need of rhythm instruments like guitar, piano, electric/acoustic bass, and vocals.

The Jazz Band is open to all grades and does provide the opportunity for 6th graders to attend the Hershey Park trip in June.
