Opening
DePauw Jazz Festival 2022
The DePauw Jazz Festival is an annual gathering of students and educators who wish to further their knowledge of jazz, create a stronger and more informed community of jazz musicians, and share in the joy of music making and education. This event gives high school jazz bands an opportunity to perform in front of an audience and highly experienced adjudicators, who work directly with each band and band director on stage immediately following their performance. Bands will work directly with clinicians where questions are welcomed and encouraged. The DePauw Jazz Festival will feature clinics and demonstrations on subjects such as articulation, dynamics, tuning, improvisation, equipment, pedagogy, and more.
