About Us

The Clare Jazz Band is available to all interested high school band members who play an instrument traditionally found in the Big Band orchestration: saxophone, trumpet, trombone, guitar, piano, bass and drumset.  Other instruments may be included depending upon musical requirements and student abilities.

The CHS Jazz Band has won numerous awards and accolades at CMU Jazz Weekend, MSBOA Jazz Festival, Alma College Jazz Festival and other performance venues

​Performances may include concerts, athletic events, festivals and other community events.  Performances are considered a natural outgrowth of the school day activity.

Who We Are

Jazz Band meets as a zero hour class each morning at 7:20am in the band room.  
While traditionally a high school ensemble, early participation waivers can be made for participation by students younger than grade 9.  However, enrollment in another band class is mandatory.

Jazz Combos

Jazz combos are small 5-8 member ensembles that perform a variety of jazz and other literature appropriate for the genre and venue.  Membership is usually comprised from members of the jazz band, but can include students unable to enroll in the jazz band course.  See Mr Lowe for further details. ​
