All City Jazz Band

About BMS All-City Jazz Ensemble

Welcome to the BMS All City Jazz Ensemble! This ensemble consists of students from grades 5-9 who want to learn about America's greatest musical tradition. The Jazz band meets regularly every week during the school year.

​As with any extra ensemble there are increased practice expectations. The All-City Jazz Ensemble is one of the premier jazz ensembles in the city of Beverly. We strive to perform a wide variety of music including Swing, Big Band, Blues, Latin, and Afro-Cuban music. The students will learn the required pieces and also be asked to learn jazz solos and improvisation.
