Jazz Band

The ETBU Jazz Band provides an opportunity for students to learn to play various jazz styles that will prepare them for careers in teaching or performance. In addition to traditional big band jazz, the band will explore improvisation and other forms such as Blues, Latin, Jazz-Rock Fusion, and Funk. The Jazz Band presents two campus concerts annually and performs at numerous sites in Marshall and in surrounding communities through tours to high schools and churches.

The Jazz Band is an auditioned ensemble open to performers on saxophone, trumpet, trombone, guitar, piano, bass, and drums. Auditions are open to all students regardless of major. The Jazz Band rehearses on Monday and Wednesday from 1:00 to 1:50 in the fall and spring semesters.
