Help Cedar Ridge Jazz Perform in GA
Donation protected
Twelve of the nation’s top high school jazz bands have been selected to participate in the eleventh annual SWING CENTRAL JAZZ High School Jazz Band Competition & Workshop, an event produced by the Savannah Music Festival (SMF). Renowned jazz pianist/composer/educator Marcus Roberts leads a group of more than 20 esteemed musicians/educators as SMF’s Associate Artistic Director, along with SCJ Associate Director and trumpet player Jim Ketch, Director of Jazz Studies at UNC Chapel Hill.
Participating students work with jazz masters across three days, perform in the “Jazz on the River” showcase on Savannah’s River Street, play in competition rounds, and attend a variety of SMF performances during their stay, which takes place from March 29 through 31, 2017. “This was a fantastic group of applicants. These young people and their teachers represent the best in high school jazz in America today,” says Associate Artistic Director Marcus Roberts.
The Jazz Ensemble I from Cedar Ridge High School is the first NC high school to be selected as a finalist for Swing Central. We are very excited to perform in Savannah, but are seeking some help in traveling to Georgia. Any help and donations would go a long way to offset the out-of-pocket expenses on the student performers as we travel to represent CRHS, Orange County Schools and our community!
