Leyden High School Jazz Choir
The LHS Jazz Choir was formed 19 years ago upon Miss C's arrival. She started with only 5 students who were interested and excited about learning this new style. The interest grew over the next four years, and in 2006, we debuted a 2nd group, the Vocal Jazz Ensemble (VJE).
In the 2010 season, there were over 70 students who auditioned for one of the jazz choirs! There was so much talent, especially in the treble sections, Miss C had to start a 3rd group!! So now our Vocal Jazz Program consists of:

In the 2010 season, there were over 70 students who auditioned for one of the jazz choirs! There was so much talent, especially in the treble sections, Miss C had to start a 3rd group!! So now our Vocal Jazz Program consists of:
- VJE - A very small, select group of singers. Only 1-2 singers on a part. This ensemble participates in many performances beyond Jazz Night.
- Jazz Choir - A medium size group of singers. Usually 4-6 singers on a part.
- Treble Jazz - A Medium/Larger group with only Women, focusing on the development of correct jazz tone and style.All of our Jazz Ensembles focus on style and improvisation.
Auditions are typically held in December.
