Competitions for this group include the Tauranga Easter Jazz Festival, KBB Music Festival in August and sometimes the Jazz and Blues Competition in July. This group also attends a weekend at music camp at the beginning of the year and participate in various performances for school functions and concerts. An international trip is usually offered every couple of years. Commitment to rehearsals and individual practise are essential to the success of this group.
