Jazz Band
The AHS Jazz Orchestra
The AHS J.O. is a very advanced ensemble. The focus of this group is to perform at a professional level and to master the skills needed for improvisation. The jazz band is open to all musicians at AHS. The audition for this group is beyond competitive. Students are STRONGLY encouraged to take private lessons and are required to try out for Jazz All-State.
News Update: AHS Jazz Band 1 gets straight 1s at the UNM Jazz festival and earned a Superior rating award. AHS Bass player Sam Brown was chosen as the Best Overall Musician of Festival. Daniel Villanueva, Marcello Torres Dos Reis, Brandon Chapman and Michael Goldstein all received superior solo awards! Congrats!
