Included in student tuition is a 3-day festival lawn pass for the each student, master classes with festival stars and a performance opportunity for each student on a dedicated Student Stage we call our "Gazebo Stage."  Organized Jam Sessions will take place between Main Stage acts all weekend long.  The Jam Sessions allow students who attended the camp in Sessions 1, 2 and 3 to perform on the festival.  Most students who attend Session 4 will be scheduled to perform with their Session 4 Combo.  Session 4 students are also welcome to participate in jam sessions, but priority is given to students whose combos could not be reformed for the festival.

Combo books will be provided.  If you would like to play, be at the Gazebo Stage at least 10 minutes before the Jam Session starts, and talk to Louise Baranger or the Jazz Fest Member in charge of that particular session.  Vocalists: please bring charts or be prepared to sing a standard in the original key or a Blues.


The student performance schedule will be available for download no sooner than Wed. Aug. 4.  Please check back here a few days before the Festival. 

Please note: students receive a 3-day lawn pass, which is non-transferable and cannot be upgraded to Springs Center tickets. Additional tickets for parents, siblings or friends can be purchased in advance of the festival or at the gate during festival weekend. Children under 12 are fee on the lawn with a parent/guardian.  You do not need a Springs Center ticket to watch the student performances on the student stage; Springs Center seating provides you a seat in the Springs Center where the Mainstage is located.
