The Jazz Band of America (JBOA) debuted March 2007 with a huge kick-off - the band opened for the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis.
In 2008, the JBOA performed with jazz greats including GRAMMY-winning jazz vocalist, Patti Austin and saxophone legend, Phil Woods.
This national honor jazz band is comprised of high school musicians, selected by taped audition.
Participation in the program for selected members will begin Wednesday of the Festival week and continue through Saturday for the conclusion of the Festival.
Jazz Band of America members will have a jam-packed experience with Master Classes, concert listening and a Gala Awards Banquet.
