Jazz Festival

2022 PRE-REGISTRATION FORM

The WSU Jazz Festival is one of the longest running festivals in the region. It is open to any high school jazz “big band.” Ensembles with alternative or expanded instrumentation are welcome.

All student participants are celebrated and outstanding performances are recognized.

We look forward to hearing you make great music!

The 2021 Jazz Festival was a resounding success. In spite of COVID, we hosted visiting bands from throughout our region in person for adjudicated performances. We presented two Gala Concerts featuring the award-winning WSU Jazz Big Band, directed by Greg Yasinitsky, performing with Jazz Studies faculty members César Haas, guitar; Darryl Singleton, percussion; Horace Alexander Young, saxophone; Jake Svendsen, piano; David Turnbull, trumpet and David Bjur, bass.

The 2022 Jazz Festival is scheduled for Wednesday, November 2, 2022. More details regarding the Festival will be posted on this page later in the spring.

Thanks for your support of the WSU Jazz Festival.
