Blue Note Jazz House
Lau House

The Blue Note Jazz House is a unique community of students who both perform and appreciate jazz music. The Blue Note works in tandem with their affiliated club, Jazz Appreciation Society (JAS), to promote music, specifically jazz, throughout the Gettysburg College campus and surrounding community. The house is also closely related to the jazz program offered at the Sunderman Conservatory of Music. The only criterion for living in the house is participation in a college instrumental ensemble. By working with JAS and the Sunderman Conservatory the Blue Note provides performances, speakers, organized trips to local jazz concerts, and other jazz related events in order to facilitate interaction with music in a social and intellectual setting.
