7th Period is a teen ensemble from Evanston playing jazz, funk, and soul. They got their start at Nichols Middle School, gathering during their lunch break – 7th period – in the empty music room to jam, explore musical genres, and discover what they could create together. Emboldened by the school's band director, John Carroll (Mucca Pazza, Verböten, Paper Mice, 88 Fingers Louie), they outgrew the music room and have since landed gigs at Evanston SPACE, Madame Zuzu’s, Beat Kitchen, and Winnetka Music Festival.

7th Period is Noah Hunt (tenor sax), Simone Hewitt (tenor sax, keys, vocals), Dylan Wooller (trumpet), Dalston Wooller (alto sax), Ben Williams (guitar), Leonidas Patton (bass), and Brooke Van Haelewyn (drums) – and they rarely play alone, frequently welcoming guest artists and friends to share the stage.
