The high school jazz program has been off to a strong start this year. The program’s increasing numbers lead the directors to add another band to the program, resulting in a total of four bands of 9th-12th grade students. With almost 100 students involved in the program, it is easily the largest in Central Iowa. After a winter concert with the 8th grade jazz ensemble on Dec. 12 at the JMS auditorium, all high school bands competed at the SCIBA Jazz Festival at Waukee High School. There, Jazz Syndicate placed fourth among 4A bands.
