Our Mission
We are proud to offer a ratings only festival that celebrates and honors groups of all levels. Each group will receive a clinic with a professional jazz educator following their performance. There will be a high level guest artist to close out the night that is sure to inspire the students. Following the guest artist, there will be an awards ceremony where all groups will be honored with a plaque that displays their school name and rating.Â
