North Marion High School Performing Arts

(Jazz Ensemble Photo Coming Soon)

Under the direction of Mr. J. Craig Lilly, the Jazz Ensemble performs year round at a variety of school and community events. Ensemble members must also participate in Marching Band and Symphonic Band, but take on the additional responsibility of performing in the Jazz Ensemble.

This ensemble performs the true American art form, Jazz. The styles of music ranges form big band, swing, bebop, funk, and rock. Students are exposed to music from 1900 to present time, and learn basic improvisation skills. The Jazz Ensemble has received overall superior/excellent ratings at FBA Jazz District Festival.

Every April the Jazz Band travels to the Masonic Lodge in St. Petersburg, FL to entertain the residence and share stories and other experiences.
