A limited number of timeslots will be availible for high school and junior high school jazz bands or combos to perform in the fabulous Bedell Performance Hall on the River Campus. The festival format (non-contest) will reward all groups by providing taped and written comments by expert adjudicators. In addition, a 15-20 minute clinic will be provided for each ensemble following its performance and individual citations will be presented for outstanding musicians within each ensemble. Each band will be adjudicated and rated as either Superior, Excellent, Good or Fair by experts in the jazz big band field. In addition, the fabulous Jazz Ensembles of Southeast Missouri State University will perform for all in attendance Friday evening. All participants will receive tickets to this event!
NOTE: This event will take place at new facilities at our River Campus, not at Brandt Hall on the main campus.
The registration fee for this festival will be $160 for your first band and $110 for each band thereafter. We hope that by keeping this fee low, we can offset the rising cost of gas and transportation. Bands will be scheduled at 35 minute intervals which will include set-up time, performance time, clinic time and tear-down time. Jazz combos also are invited to perform. Adjudicator's comment sheets and tapes, OMA certificates, and CD recording will be available immediately following each band's performance.All bands will receive tickets to the Friday evening gala concert of both Southeast jazz ensembles featuring our guest artist as soloist.
