Rondebosch Boys’ High School has a dynamic Music Department, with around 150 pupils playing a wide range of instruments and musical styles, and the Jazz Band has built up an enviable reputation over the past 15 years for delivering music of a high standard. The band plays a mix of standard big band repertoire and arrangements of South African jazz. Many former members have gone on to study music locally and abroad, and are now active professionals in the music world. The Band has also been a regular performer at the National Youth Jazz Festival, and over the years many players have been selected to play in the National Schools Big Band.
