As we turn our calendar to Spring, NJAJE is busy hosting our annual State Jazz Band Festival. During the second week of March, 48
High School Jazz Bands participate in the weeklong preliminary round of the State Festival. They perform over 5 nights at various schools around the state. Thanks go out to Liberty Middle School, Steinert High School, Cherokee High School, Bridgewater Raritan High School and Jackson Liberty High School for hosting a night of prelims! After the results of the preliminary round are calculated, the top 9 Bands in each division will perform in the Final round on Saturday April 30th. A special thank you to our Membership Chair/Festival Coordinator Jeffrey Lesser for organizing this statewide event.
NJAJE is also sponsoring Jazz Combo Clinics once again! If you have a small jazz group (10 members or less) you can request a clinic with
a Jazz Educator from one of the NJ Colleges/Universities local to your area. Don’t miss out on this fabulous opportunity for your students Information can be found on our website
