Jazz Choir

The Central Lyon Jazz Choir is an auditioned group that performs jazz and swing music.  They rehearse twice a week on Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 7:25-8:00.  This group performs at various concerts throughout the year and goes Christmas caroling at the local nursing homes in December and in the spring, they perform a ministry of music at the local churches in our community.  

They compete at several contests in February and audition to compete at Iowa Jazz Championships which takes place in March in Des Moines. The jazz choir students have been chosen to perform at 2023 State Vocal Jazz Championships, just eight schools in each class are chosen from across Iowa.  To earn this honor, they had to receive a Division I rating at our State Contest and submit a video application.  Not only did they perform at Championships in Des Moines on March 27, 2023, they placed third. Congrats! 

“Being a part of the CL Roarin Jazz Choir has been an experience I'll never forget. I have been in Jazz Choir for 3 years, and everyone on this team is a family. In Jazz Choir, you truly learn how to work with others, and to trust your peers. We work so hard every year, and it always pays off. I am so grateful to have been a part of this amazing group, I will never have another experience like it.” ~ senior Anna Warntjes
