Jackson Academy’s bands and color guard members put together an end-of-the-year performance for JA, held May 2 in the Performing Arts Center. The program featured the Beginner Band, Middle School Band, Upper School Band, and Color Guard, as well as individual soloists.
Students can participate in the band beginning in fifth grade. Fifth and sixth graders join Beginner Band, where they experiment with learning music and what instrument fits them best. Seventh and eighth grade students participate in the Middle School band, where they march with the JA Band in the fall semester and perform at football games and parades. Middle and Upper School bands have both marching and concert seasons, with performances both semesters. Color Guard competes with the band and in competitions specifically for Color Guard.
