The SSU/Redwood Empire Jazz Festival is a 1-day competitive and educational event open to high school and middle school big bands and jazz combos (now open to junior colleges as well). Each band gets to perform in our amazing Weill Hall.  Trophies will be awarded to the top three bands of each class. Each band will receive taped and written comments, a 30-minute clinic from a renowned jazz educator, and a video of their performance. Top soloists from each band will be recognized with certificates. Each day, the SSU jazz faculty will provide additional rolling clinics and the SSU Jazz Orchestra will perform.
