Students may participate in one of our jazz bands under the direction of Mr. Wadkins or Mr. Karkosky. Our jazz bands rehearse in a separate class during the school day and perform in many area activities and contests. The jazz bands also host a special event in late winter with our middle school jazz band programs and perform a spring concert at HHS .
