Congratulations to the student musicians of the North High School Jazz Program for an outstanding showing at the 2018 Purdue Jazz Festival. Three jazz ensembles performed and competed with more than 100 high school ensembles from five states across the Midwest.
In addition to receiving a score from the panel of adjudicators in each room, each group received real time formative feedback from each judge in an audio recording. This feedback is essential to the continuing growth of both individual students and the musicianship of each ensemble.
The DGN Jazz Ensemble and DGN Jazz Lab Band each received Division I ratings from the panel of judges. This is the highest possible rating on the scoring rubric.
In addition to the outstanding ensemble performances, 12 Outstanding Soloist Awards were given by the panel of judges to DGN students for displaying outstanding musicianship.
