The Council Rock North Jazz Band is a premier instrumental ensemble in the CRN instrumental music program. The jazz band has a long and rich history of tradition and excellence that dates all the way back to the 1970’s. The band compromises 20-22 of the best musicians in the instrumental music department. The band performs a variety of jazz styles that include swing, rock, funk, fusion, Soul, Latin styles, and many others. There are 4 sections of the band: Trumpets, Saxophones, Trombones, and Rhythm (Bass, Guitar, Piano, Drums, and Aux Percussion).
The band is a competitive, auditioned ensemble that rehearses 3 times a week. We perform at many competitions, and local venues. The CRN Jazz Band has developed a reputation as being one of top organizations in the area winning many Superior ratings, section awards, and countless solo awards.
