This is music with a real swing! DAJO performs in a variety of settings - on the concert platform, school dances, shopping malls, and village fetes. Entry into the band is via a short sight-reading audition, which takes place in the Third Term.

Rehearsals take place on Mondays from 12.45-1.20pm.

Further details from Mr Christie or members of the Music department.

DAJO 2 is the feeder band for DAJO, providing young saxophonists, trumpeters, trombonists, pianists, guitarists, and drummers with their first taste of Jazz.
