Maowad Jazz Festival (Central Washington University)

The kids did an awesome job at the Jazz Festival this weekend in Ellensburg. It was our first festival of the year and a great learning experience. That is the aim for the Maowad Jazz Festival. The jazz students were exposed to jazz bands from all over the state, jazz choirs (for the first time for many of them) they learned about jazz articulations, SCATTING, and we had a great time riding over in the suburbans (special thanks to my drivers again!)

Our next jazz festival is March 21st at Newport High School in Bellevue. It will be competitive and the kids should be ready to go!

Way to go Jazz Band!!!
