A-Town Jazz is Abington Junior
High's competitive Jazz Band and one of the most successful
student extracurricular activities at Abington Junior High.
Musicians are chosen based on auditions, and rehearse one
evening a week. The band participates in several
competitive jazz festivals, school performances, assemblies,
and community events. Under the director of Mr. Chris Horn,
students are taught jazz fundamentals and the importance of
improvisation. A-Town Jazz is open to any student musician
at Abington Junior High; however, students must be part of
either band, chorus, or orchestra, with the exception of
electric guitar, bass, and piano students. This ensemble is
best suited to the serious student musician who is looking
for a challenge and to have fun.
