The Baradene Jazz Band combines students from Baradene and St Peter's College from the ranks of their concert bands and other groups to provide them with an opportunity to extend their skills. The Jazz Band's repertoire explores music from early jazz and the Swing era all the way to fusion and funk. Their annual goal is to master their repertoire for the KBB Music Festival and Jazz and Blues Competition. The Jazz Band has performed for such occasions as a Rotary High Tea, an ICT Conference, a Formation to Mission Conference, the Baradene Art Show, the Sports Awards, and are always looking for new opportunities and events to perform and share their music with the community.
