Marching Band is not only a musical organization, but also a social organization. In band, students not only learn how to play musical instruments, but meet new people and grow great and long-lasting relationships with friends new and old.

The Jackson Jaguar Marching Band program has consistently achieved the highest level of excellence in both its performance and community obligations. They work hard to be some of the finest musicians in the New Jersey area and spend time playing at various community events.

The Jackson Memorial Marching Band will take center stage at Disney World’s Magic Kingdom

The Jackson Memorial High School Jaguar Marching Band and Color Guard have been invited to travel to Orlando, Florida to perform at the Magic Kingdom on Thursday, April 18, 2024. The talented ensemble will be a part of Disney’s Imagination Campus parade lineup, showcasing their musical and visual prowess in the heart of Disney World. “The Jackson Memorial High School Instrumental Music Ensembles always seek out unique performance opportunities and try to expose our students to different musical mediums and performance spaces,” said Jason Diaz, Director of Bands. “Performing on Main Street USA is one of these ‘once in a lifetime’ opportunities for our students.”

The trip will include visits to other attractions within Walt Disney World, creating lasting memories for the students, however, The Main Street, USA performance promises to be a highlight of the band’s trip. The performance will showcase a compilation of popular Disney Melodies including "Mickey Mouse March", "It's a Small World" and "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.” The band’s Senior Drum Major, Samantha Libby, said “Everyone is very excited to go to Disney and perform, especially the seniors. Many of us thought we’d never get an opportunity like this.” The band’s participation in this prestigious event is a testament to their dedication and excellence in marching band performances. Diaz said, “It is a wonderful experience to march down this street, look up, and see Cinderella's Castle staring directly back at you while hearing cheers from spectators from around the world.”

Family, friends, and supporters of the JMHS Marching Band are encouraged to support the band by visiting the band’s website at jacksonjaguarband.com and donating to the Disney Fundraiser which will help cover the cost of transporting students, uniforms, and instruments to Florida and back for this amazing opportunity.  Or, go directly to the band’s Zeffy fundraising link.

The Jackson Memorial Band is under the direction of Jason Diaz and Eric Ficarra.
