The Milton High School Jazz Band is the cool and smooth side of the band program.  They are under the direction of Mr. Michael Schultz.  They play a wide assortment of pop, smooth, swing, and other styles of jazz music.  The Jazz Band can be seen performing at various venues in the Milton/Pensacola area including Pensacola beach.  This ensemble currently meets 4th period everyday as well as some days after school.
