The Princeton High School Jazz Festival is quickly approaching! Here is all of the important information you need to know:
PRINCETON HIGH JAZZ FESTIVAL
Friday, February 11 (for middle school bands)
Cranbury Advanced Jazz Band students should plan to arrive at PHS between 4:30PM-4:45PM. Guest artist Tim Hagans will be giving a clinic for all students starting at 5:00PM. His clinic is not to be missed!
Following his clinic, Cranbury students will begin our time in the warm-up room at 6:00PM. Our performance will start at 6:40PM.
After our performance, the band will then go to the sight-reading room at 7:00PM. After their sight-reading session, they will have the opportunity to hear the performances of the other middle school bands as well as the PHS Studio Band who will be joined by Mr. Hagans. The awards ceremony will begin at 10:00PM.
Advanced Jazz Band members should plan to wear the same concert attire they wore for the winter concert (our standard black and white).
It would also be wise for students to have eaten dinner on their own prior to the clinic, as they will not have the opportunity to do so again until after our sight-reading session has ended. The cafe at PHS will be open to students following their performance, but not before.
Including Cranbury, there are eight middle school bands slated to perform, so it should be a great night of music!
