Jefferson Band

  • Directed by Mr. Chris Werve and Mrs. Renee Howe, the Jefferson Band consists of one weekly technique class and two (for 6th grade) or three (for 7th & 8th grade) full rehearsals per week. Technique classes are small group lessons that focus on technical skills on individual instruments while full rehearsals allow students to apply these skills in preparation for a performance.
