Electronic, Jazz, Rock, R&B/Soul and Blues (Jazz-Rock, Soul-Jazz, Soul, Psychedelic Rock, Jazz-Funk)
"The Wheeling Jazz Band is one ot the truly outstanding high school jazz groups. Their repertoire includes music of all styles of jaza and rock, much of which is written by director John Higgins. Nearly all of the members improvise; eight are featured on this album. Working with the jazz band and combo members, Higgins encourages student composition as well as creativity in improvisation. The band played three concerts this year, participated in two jazz features, and played a tour of the Boston public schools during their spring vacation."
