Glen A. Wilson's Stage band, more commonly known as
the jazz band, is one of the smaller groups that is
part of the Royal Wilson Marching Alliance. The jazz
band is made up of two alto saxophones, two tenor
saxophones, one baritone saxophone, four trumpets,
four trombones, one piano, one bass, and drums.
Different from concert band, the jazz band players
must master a different style of music and learn to
improvisation. Throughout the marching season, the
jazz band is dormant and only participates in the
marching band.
After marching season, the jazz band makes their
first appearance at the basketball games. Like the
marching band, the jazz band plays for the
entertainment of the basketball spectators at
half-time and throughout the game. The jazz band also
plays for the rallies of the school. In addition to
entertainment, the jazz prepares and participates in
Jazz Festivals, which takes place at several high
schools as well as college campuses. Finally, the Jazz
band plays at the annual Jazz Concert in which their
works of the year are exclusively shown.
