Contest Information:
Ron Carter will give a master class for all participants in the afternoon. The evening will finish with a performance of Ron Carter with Lamar Jazz Ensemble I. Tickets for the evening concert are only $10 (Tickets are included in the entry fee) The festival is for high school and junior high groups, both big bands and combos, and is designed to give your students in-depth exposure to all aspects of jazz.
Your band will perform on one of our outstanding stages for three jazz educators who will provide written comments. Following your performance, your group will work with the clinicians, receiving immediate feedback on positive aspects and help in those areas that need it. Awards will be given to outstanding bands in all classifications and outstanding musicians/soloists in each group. Classifications are based upon UIL rules and eligibility:
• Bands must be comprised of students from the entering school, represented and sponsored by the school band director.
• All students must be “eligible” to perform in accordance with state U.I.L. rules.
• The director may only conduct, but not play in the band.
• An ensemble may enter for criticism only, thereby relinquishing all rights to receive group awards.
• *A student may not perform in more than one ensemble without prior consent from the festival director
*Your band can perform for "Comments/Ratings Only" upon request and not adhere to U.I.L Rules
Registration is limited, so please return your application soon to reserve your spot on the program. I look forward to hearing from you. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at 682-867-7006 or email me at [email protected]
