MARCH 29 - APRIL 1, 2017

The Bellevue High Jazz Band I was selected to perform at Savannah Music Festival's Swing Central Jazz Competition, that showcased the nation's top high school jazz bands. Jazz I students learned from and were inspired by jazz master clinicians, and also had fun in Savannah.

INFORMATION

Each year, twelve outstanding high school jazz bands are selected from a large pool of applicants to participate in Swing Central Jazz workshops and the competition. Each of the twelve bands receive complete charts, one-on-one and ensemble instruction from the nation’s top educators, and a chance to win the Faircloth award and $5,000 to support their music program.

CLINICIANS

Each jazz band will learn from multiple clinicians during their individual clinic, where they will work with one clinician per instrument. Students will also attend an improvisation workshop, instrumental sectionals, and each band receives a rhythm section workshop with Marcus Roberts. This is a wonderful opportunity for our jazz band musicians!
