CONCORD HIGH SCHOOL JAZZ BAND

Concord High School is taking over Yoshi’s for ONE NIGHT ONLY. Make sure you buy tickets for what is sure to be an incredible evening. This is a great performance opportunity for our students, an amazing fundraiser for our program, and a fun night out for the adults! Here’s a rundown of the evening…

During Doors, our current student/alumni combo will take the stage and set the tone for the night! These musicians have been working hard at their craft and are so excited to come together for an amazing performance!

The Concord High School Jazz Ensemble II will officially open the night! They are the introductory jazz course at Concord High. These young, motivated musicians have worked hard throughout the year, excelled in competition, and are excited to kick off the show.

A fun surprise of the evening is that we will be featuring the Concord High School Alumni Jazz Band! Alumni in this band have performed and graduated from music programs at Sac State, Cal State East Bay, UC Berkeley, UCLA, San Francisco Conservatory, California’s Jazz Conservatory, Diablo Valley College, and the US Marines. 

Our penultimate performance will feature the inaugural El Dorado Middle School Jazz Big Band. Their after school combo from last year was such a success that the school green lit a class! These students have learned a lot this year, competed at 3 festivals, and are excited to bring their talents to Yoshi’s. This was the first time that EDMS had a Jazz course offered in over 10 years.

The night will close out with the Concord High School Jazz Ensemble I. They’ve competed at competitions throughout the state, and are a force to be reckoned with. Outside of competition, Jazz I loves performing for their home crowd and the Concord community, making their musical selections span a variety of genres. These high schoolers pack a musical punch and are one of the top high school jazz bands in the area.
