The South Suburban College Jazz Festival is moving into its tenth year. It is a non-competitive festival that features Jr. High, Middle and High School bands.

Each band plays for 15-20 minutes and then recieves a clinic by the guest artists/clinicians on stage. At the end of the festival the Outstandting Band of the Festival is chosen by the guest artists and individual solo awards are presented during the evening concert.

All performances are open and free to the public. Come and see some outstanding young performers!
