Main  Concert Bands  Marching Band  Jazz Band  Extracurricular Opportunities

The Jazz Ensemble performs music of varied style such as swing, samba, bossa-nova, ballads, etc. The instrumentation is limited to a traditional "big band" setting. The Jazz Ensemble meets after school during the Spring rather than as a class period. There is a strong emphasis on sightreading and individual practice among members because of the quick and few rehearsals before concerts. The Jazz Ensemble frequently performs outside of the school setting and is therefore one of the most visible ensembles at Enloe. Enrollment is by audition only. 

Also offered is a Jazz Improv class. This class splits players up into small jazz combos to teach the players to rely on one another for cues to play a piece without a conductor. Emphasis is on individual improvement as well as advancement of the Jazz genre. Predominant instruments are Guitar, Bass (String or Electric), and Drumset, and most combos will also have a Wind or Piano player. Enrollment by director recommendation only.
