St. Augustine’s Jazz Orchestra (S.A.J.O.)
The Jazz Orchestra was formed in 2007 and has grown steadily with more and more students learning second instruments in order to join. The band has now grown so much that it has been split into 2 bands, a Junior and Senior Band with a full complement of players in each.

The Senior Jazz Orchestra (SAJO) plays a range of musical styles including swing, soul, funk and Big Band classics by artists such as Glenn Miller, Stevie Wonder, Gordon Goodwin, and Buddy Rich. They have gained first place certificates on every occasion at the Eskdale Music Festival. SAJO have also reached the finals of the National Music Festival Music for Youth and performed at the Birmingham conservatoire for the past 2 years. 
The Jazz Orchestra has performed at many locations in and around Scarborough including at the grand re-opening of Scarborough’s, Heritage Rotunda Museum in 2008. The Jazz Orchestra have also appeared in Scarborough town centre and in concert with the Scarborough Concert Band on a number of occasions and are in great demand around the area all year round playing at many Charity events throughout the year. They have gained a reputation in North Yorkshire as being one of the finest young Jazz ensembles in the area who play with energy, enthusiasm and finesse along with many outstanding improvisers within the band. 

Last year SAJO also won the Scarborough News Award for artistic contribution to the North Yorkshire Coast which is a fantastic achievement for the band. In 2015 the band played at the Montreux Jazz Festival and the Evian Music festival, too highlights of the bands performances to date! 

St. Augustine’s School Orchestra
The Orchestra was started 10 years ago with just 20 members. Since then it has grown and grown and now hosts more than 80 students from all year groups in school. Recently the Orchestra has gained new members on rarer instruments such as the French Horn, Tuba and Bassoon which have added a great deal of depth to the sound that the Orchestra produces. 

The Orchestra perform a huge range of musical styles from classical to modern including music by well known composers such as Vivaldi, Holst, and Tchaikovsky. They also play arrangements of well known film soundtracks as well as popular songs such as Bohemian Rhapsody and Born to be Wild along with popular film music.
The pupils in the Orchestra have a real enthusiasm and passion for the music they play and can often be found leading their own sectionals in small corners of the school at every given opportunity! They love to rehearse and perform in public and regularly get to the finals of Music For Youth!

St. Augustine’s Junior/Senior Choir/Mixed Voice
The Choirs at St. Augustine’s was started 10 years ago and has grown in popularity and numbers since then. The choirs now have over 50 members each and sing a variety of musical numbers ranging from classical music by Handel and Vivaldi to Queen, including songs from musicals such as Sister Act, and traditional African numbers.

The Choir perform many concerts throughout the year in Scarborough, and also further afield to places such as York, Whitby and Middlesbrough. They also perform regularly within the community including concerts for senior citizens, at charity events, and in local shopping centres at Christmas time. The Choir, along with the schools Chamber Band, also form a big part of the school’s Roman Catholic Mass celebrations throughout the year. The Senior Choir also takes a leading role in many Diocesan Music events throughout the year in collaboration with the Diocesan Choir. The Choirs have competed in the Eskdale Music Festival on multiple occasions and have gained over 35 first place certificates since 2003. Last Year all the Choirs sang at the Montreux Jazz Festival and Evian Music festival which were both amazing experiences for them!
