Jazz Choir
Jazz Choir was originally started a few years ago by students who voluntarily came in at 7:00 a.m. every day so that they could sing jazz. Eventually, the students and Ms. Dooley persuaded the school to make their ensemble an official class. Since then, Jazz has grown to include over 50 singers and 2 student instrumentalists that work with the choir daily. Last year, the SHS Jazz Ensemble performed/competed at the Riverside Community College, Disneyland, and the Fullerton College Jazz Festival.
After watching small jazz groups perform at Fullerton last year, some of the Jazz students were able to work with Ms. Dooley to create a Small Jazz Ensemble, which will eventually be made up of 10-15 members. Although this group is still being formed, many of the students are extremely excited about the chance to work with a smaller group of singers, and possibly compete throughout the year.
JAZZ PERFORMANCE OUTFITS
Men in Jazz Choir are required to wear black dress pants, black dress shoes (no tennis shoes or boots), black socks, and a black dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up to the elbows. Mark Lynn is the Jazz Choir Male Wardrobe for this year.
Women in Jazz Choir have similar outfits, as follows: black dress pants (not skin-tight), nice black short-sleeved shirt, black nylons or socks, black closed-toed dress shoes (no heels bigger than 2 inches), no large jewelry, and hair out of their faces. Women also have jazz vests, which are to be purchased or loaned from the SHS Choral Department. Sarah Steele is the Jazz Choir Female Wardrobe.
Jazz Choir also has black t-shirts with a choir logo on the front and
