Jazz Band

The Brentwood Jazz Band welcomes all students who are at an intermediate to advanced level of musicianship. Students will play moderately challenging jazz band arrangements. Rhythm section, brass, and reeds musicians, and vocalists are all welcome. Ear training and sight-reading skills become a high priority for this group, as students practice the art of improvisation. The band will play on and off campus—including music festivals such as the Whistler Mountain Festival and MusicFest Canada during the year. In 2024, the Brentwood Jazz Band was awarded Gold at the Con Brio Whistler Mountain Music Festival, Silver at the West Coast Jazz Festival, and an invitation to Nationals in 2025.
