FESTIVAL DETAILS AS GOOGLE DOC HERE
The WSJF’s format now aligns with Oregon Music Educators Jazz Handbook and serves as a qualifying event for the State Jazz Festival. High School Bands that wish to qualify for the State Jazz Festival will be grouped in the Advanced Division by OSAA classifications for competition. High School Second Bands from the same school may perform one OSAA classification level lower. All High School Groups that do not wish to qualify for the State Jazz Festival may compete in the Intermediate or Novice Division at their director’s discretion. Each group will have a 30 minute time slot, which includes an on stage clinic by one of the adjudicators, set up and break down. Middle Schools may still select their classification. Please note: we also have a combo division.
Scheduling for the festival will take place in order of registration. Accommodations may be requested/granted based on distance of travel and to allow more time between ensembles representing the same school.
