Berklee's 42nd annual High School Jazz Festival will take place on Saturday, March 13th, 2010. New this year: the ensemble registration process will be online! Registration is scheduled to begin on October 1, 2009. We look forward to your participation in the 2010 festival!
Berklee College of Music hosts its High School Jazz Festival at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston, Massachusetts. Berklee's annual event is the largest of its kind in the United States.
Big bands, combos, and vocal jazz ensembles will perform and compete throughout the day. All ensembles are adjudicated by a panel of Berklee's top faculty and will receive a written critique of their performance. Top-ranked ensembles will be awarded partial scholarships to Berklee's Five Week Summer Performance Program, and individual students are invited to audition for tuition scholarships towards the full-time program or our Five Week Summer Performance Program.
The day's events will also include performances by Berklee faculty, tours of Berklee's campus, open jam sessions, and much more.
Ensembles can perform in competing categories determined by school size, or choose to participate in a non-competing category. All participating ensembles are adjudicated by a panel of Berklee's top faculty and receive a written critique of their performance. High school music directors interested in participating in future events are encouraged to sign up for our mailing list.
