All-City Jazz Band
The players in this ensemble usually also belong to our Junior and/or Senior Bands although some may choose to play a different instrument in Jazz Band. Musicians need to have an advanced ability on their instrument (good range, solid embouchure and know their chromatic fingerings) to feel comfortable playing Jazz, Rock, Funk, Latin and Pop. Our Jazz Band is a busy band, not only opening our two concerts in the Yukon Arts Centre, but also picking up gigs throughout the year (this coming year playing for All-City Band Dessert & Dance Fundraiser with The Big Band, Rendezvous, Arts in the Park) and even going on tour in the Spring to Yukon Communities. This past year we visited Carcross, Tagish and Watson Lake and had unforgettable moments playing with other musicians there. If you are interested in joining our Jazz Band, either as a student or adult community member, come along to our first rehearsal on Thursday 4th September 2025, 3:45pm - 5:45pm in Porter Creek Secondary School Band Room (rehearsals after Winter Break will be at FHC Secondary School) or get in touch through our email: allcitybandwhitehorse@gmail.com
