This ensemble is an elective open to all 6-8th-grade band students and meets after school.   We learn the elements of Jazz and Improvisation, focusing on how to "Speak" the language, with a heavy focus on the standards and performers that made this art form great.

The Percussion Ensemble is open to all 6-8th-grade Percussion students and meets Wednesday after school in the Fall and Winter.  Percussionists in this group receive extra training on multiple instruments, rehearse percussion-only pieces, and quickly advance their skills.

In January we start rehearsing Drumline music for the Spring Concert and Memorial Day Parade. This group is open to all Wheatland Percussionists.
