Jazz Combo competes in Santa Cruz Jazz Festival

The College Prep Jazz Combo competed, for the first time, in the Santa Cruz Jazz Festival earning unanimous "1" scores from both of the judges. A great accomplishment as "1" is the highest possible score.

Next is the qualifying phase of Monterey Jazz Festival's Next Generation Program where 1,300 of the top high school and college musicians from across the country participate. There are classes, workshops, and master classes led by top Jazz artists, performances by all of the participating groups, and lots of impromptu jam sessions with the students at this annual festival.
