The jazz band, which consists of 15 to 22 members, features a:

• brass section with four trumpets and four trombones
• saxophone section with alto, tenor and baritone saxophones
• rhythm section with drums, guitar, bass guitar and piano
• collection of instruments that is typical of jazz bands

Several jazz ensemble, fundamentals of music, music appreciation, and music history classes are offered each semester.

Jazz band performances are held in the Centennial Center and the Will Rogers Auditorium on the RSU campus in Claremore, as well as area public schools and other community venues in northeast Oklahoma. Membership in the jazz band also is open to area high school students and community residents.

A limited number of music scholarships are available for students interested in participating in the RSU jazz and pep band programs.
