Jazz Band
North Shore Middle School offers before and after school extra curricular activities. One of these activities is Jazz Band. Every one in this group comes in at 7:45 a.m. and rehearses until 8:30 a.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays. They play many styles of jazz music such as swing, blues and funk. Also the Jazz Band always gets the opportunity to start “Rockin’ Knight”. Rockin' Knight is an annual talent show for students to showcase their singing abilities and the Jazz Band is the opening act! These dedicated jazz students are even invited to perform in Arrowhead’s “Hot Chili, Cool Jazz” where they serve hot chili and then you can listen to some cool jazz.

Famous quotes containing the words jazz and/or band:
“The basic difference between classical music and jazz is that in the former the music is always greater than its performance—Beethoven’s Violin Concerto, for instance, is always greater than its performance—whereas the way jazz is performed is always more important than what is being performed.”
—André Previn (b. 1929)
“And the heavy night hung dark
The hills and waters o’er,
When a band of exiles moored their bark
On the wild New England shore.”
—Felicia Dorothea Hemans (1783–1835)
