JAZZ BAND


The Jazz Band will be performing at the Township Jazz Festival on April 26 from 12:00 - 12:30. The JA Band will be the first performing group, and all students should report to the stage at the Township at Colony Park in Ridgeland by 11:30. Attire is the new polo shirts.

The annual festival is free and a great opportunity to see area high school and college jazz bands as well as some of the metro area's premier jazz talent, including the Vamps, Southern Komfort, and the New Bourbon Street Jazz Band. The headliner this year is the Delfeayo Marsalis Quartet.


In conjunction with the festival, Delfeayo Marsalis is offering a free jazz workshop for high school and college student musicians at the Fusion Coffeehouse on Friday, April 25 at 7:00 pm. Students are encouraged to bring instruments, and anyone is welcome to attend.
