Jazz Ensemble/Jazz Lab/Jazz Band

Lindbergh High School offers three jazz bands—Jazz Ensemble, Jazz Lab, and Jazz Band. With a comprehensive study of styles and history, these bands have multiple opportunities to participate in festivals and concerts throughout the school year. 

The Jazz Ensemble is a high school class that meets daily, while the Jazz Lab and Jazz Band meet during zero hour (before school).  Students receive academic credit for Jazz Ensemble and Jazz Lab. All bands are created through an audition process that encourages participation regardless of a student's experience in this genre. Jazz Ensemble auditions take place in February for the next school year, while Jazz Lab and Jazz Band auditions are held in October for the current school year.
