About Me

This is the Mt. Eden High School Jazz Band. We've had a Jazz band for many years, but have recently shown amazing progress within the past couple of years. We've participated in various competitions and have performed for a few personal gigs. We are nationally ranked and are working our hardest to be further acknowledged by larger audiences and music junkies. A lot of our success is owed to our director Mr. Kevin Cato who has played an irreplaceable role not only in our lives, but also in our musicianship. Thank you to all our supporters, fans, and the hard work we've put out to come this far.

we are also willing to do gigs!
