Jazz Ensemble

The Stoughton High School Jazz Ensemble is an auditioned group which rehearses one to two times per week. The ensemble concentrates on college and professional literature, and has had the opportunity to work many professional jazz musicians across the United States and Canada. The group has also had the distinct opportunity to perform with and open for bands such as the Glenn Miller Orchestra the Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra, Northern Illinois Jazz Ensemble, and the Mama Digdowns Brass Band.  The Jazz Ensemble rehearses Monday nights after the end of Marching Band season through Variety Show.
