Mission Statement
The mission of the East Fort Worth Community Jazz Band is to provide quality musical performances for Fort Worth and surrounding communities and give our adult and student musicians opportunities to learn new music and improve their musical skills. The East Fort Worth Community Jazz Band is a volunteer organization of approximately 28 members from all parts of our community who share a passion for music.

In the last four years, EFWCJB has provided free jazz concerts for the Fort Worth and surrounding areas, helped the Lion's Club raise funds for HS Scholarships and has raised money along with area businesses to award a $1000 scholarship to an East Fort Worth graduating senior.
