BRIEF HISTORY
The Missoula All-City Jazz was founded in 2017 to provide an opportunity for area high school musicians to work on their skills in an improvisation format separate from their existing high school band programs. The organization is now available to provide an education experience to high school & middle school students throughout the Missoula community.
​
The All-City season begins in November and runs through May.

All-City Jazz is fiscally sponsored by Arts Missoula​

OUR MISSION
The mission of this program is to provide other opportunities in a creative environment for instrumental students through jazz instruction. The methods that are employed to help enrich the students will be improvisation, creative literature, masterclasses, workshops, and performances with nationally acclaimed musicians. The musical and leadership skills gained can then be shared with their own school programs. These groups will rehearse weekly and perform 2-3 times per academic year.​
