Kansas City's Youth Bringin' Back the Sounds of Big Band, Swing, and Jazz

5 Star Jazz Band is a non-profit community band dedicated to providing Kansas City's top young musicians, age 12-21, the unique opportunity to perform in a professional-caliber jazz ensemble. Performances are scheduled year round throughout the metropolitan area, from local community, charity, and holiday events to professional venues such as KC Riverfest, Italian Festival, and our bi-annual "Tribute to the Troops" at Barnes and Noble Bookstore in Zona Rosa.

Our high-energy repetoire of over 100+ charts includes Big Band, Swing, Jazz, Blues, Funk and Latin styles. Rehersals are Wednesday nights and Sunday afternoons at the First Christian Church of North Kansas City. Participation is audition based. All members are encouraged to participate in their school band programs. Contact us any time to learn more, schedule a gig, or sign up to come play!



5 Star Jazz Band was recently awarded grants from the Harrah's / North Kansas City Community Fund and the Arts Council of Metropolitan Kansas City. 5 Star members, their parents, volunteers and audiences greatly appreciate this generous support that enables 5 Star to fulfill its Mission and extend its reach to the diverse communities that make Kansas City a great place to live.
