Other Opportunities
Jazz Band Like the marching band, The Apex High School Jazz Band is an all voluntary non-academic band, and meets after school one to two days a week beginning in December (after marching season). There is no audition required to participate in the Jazz Band program. In order to keep your membership in this ensemble, you will need to attend rehearsals regularly and practice on your own. The State Jazz Band Festival usually takes place around the 1st week of May. Depending on how many students wish to participate in Jazz Band, some years we have more than one jazz band! Pep Band Another all voluntary, extra-curricular opportunity to add music enjoyment to after school sporting events! Marching Band Apex High has a large marching band that plays at football games and goes to several competitions throughout the season. Practices start over the summer, usually around the beginning of August and run throughout the fall. The season ends with with some fun parade performances. Learn more about marching band |
