Jazz in the Round
Description
This festival is a showcase of the proud traditions and excellent musicianship of Wichita’s high school jazz bands. Bands from East, Heights, North, Northwest, South, Southeast and West High Schools will perform.
New this year, the festival will feature an All-City Jazz Ensemble made up of some of the top musicians from each Wichita High School, directed by retired Northwest Band Director, Brian Hoffman.
This concert, sponsored by Friends University, is free and open to the public. This concert is truly set “in the round.” Audience members are seated in the center of the Northwest High School Commons, surrounded by the jazz ensembles. Unlike traditional concerts, the audience actively rotates their chairs every 2 performances to face each performing group.
