The band numbers some fourteen players drawn from all year groups together with some enthusiastic players from the Senior Common Room. All its arrangements are produced in-house by its director, David Force, and are largely chosen by the band members themselves.

The band has a busy concert diary. In addition to appearing in a variety of contexts within the College, the band has access to an impressive mobile PA set-up which allows performances at outdoor venues, including Eastbourne’s magnificent Victorian seafront bandstand.

The band operates a popular outreach programme to local schools in which members talk about and demonstrate their instruments in the context of a concert featuring a variety of jazz styles, and each year the band hosts a Jazz Day for prep schools in which young musicians participate in an intensive day of music and activities culminating in a joint concert.

The band recorded its first demo CD in May 2008 - plaese contact the music department if you would like a copy.
