Pacetti Bay Middle School JAZZ BAND Updated on July 22, 2011 Pacetti Bay Middle School Jazz Band The Pacetti Bay jazz band is formed of mostly eighth grade students and will be meeting five days a week (during school hours) as a part of the students' schedule. Most students registered for the jazz band  have two band classes on their schedule. We are very fortunate to have such a unique class on the schedule at Pacetti Bay Middle School and the students, parents, and school administrators are very excited about the opportunity. Membership: Jazz Band members have demonstrated excellence and high achievement on their instrument. These students are to be considered model band students and represent the school and our community as the Pacetti Bay Jazz Band. Jazz band is not open to beginning band students.
