CARL ALBERT JAZZ BANDS

Three ensembles. One tradition of improvisation, groove, and musicianship. Carl Albert Jazz showcases festival performance, competitive achievement, and individual artistry from Middle School through the state's top ranks.

The Carl Albert Jazz Program is recognized as one of the top performing jazz ensembles in our state. Our staff uses a standard jazz curriculum that teaches fundamentals of jazz style, improvisation, jazz history and performance education.

MIDDLE SCHOOL JAZZ

Carl Albert Middle School

CAMS Jazz meets once a week after school, and they invite all 2nd and 3rd year players to join, regardless of the instrument they play. The group performs 2-3 concerts per year, and does community outreach concerts.

JAZZ ENSEMBLE 2

HIGH School - DEVELOPMENTAL GROUP

The CAHS Jazz Ensemble 2 is compiled of students either playing in a jazz ensemble for the first time or those who are performing on a secondary instrument. CAHS Jazz 2 uses the standard jazz instrumentation of 5-6 saxophones, 4-5 trombones, 4-5 trumpets, piano, guitar, bass and two percussionists.  Meeting outside of the school day, this group competes at the OSSAA State Jazz Contest every year and often earns superior ratings.
