Pops 'n Jazz

Hall High School proudly invites the community to experience the 68th annual production of Pops ’n Jazz, a beloved West Hartford tradition showcasing the school’s extraordinary jazz musicians, singers, dancers, and theatre students. This year’s production explores the magic behind the music with a theatrical theme of Putting It Together, and tells the story of the collaboration and dedication of the student performers and crew members who make up PnJ. Putting it Together offers old standards and new showstoppers sure to excite the audience. More than a concert, Pops ’n Jazz 2026 pulls back the curtain on the creative process and places the spotlight squarely on the unwavering devotion of the Hall High School Jazz Dancers, Choraliers, Jazz Bands and Theater students.
