2025 Jazz Festival Information

Please save the date for the 2025 NSBA State Jazz Festival. The Jazz Festival this next year will once again be hosted at Elkhorn South High School on Thursday April 10th, and Friday, April 11th, 2025. As in years past, the Thursday portion of the event will occur in the evening and will be for middle school jazz bands. The Friday portion of the event will occur throughout the entire day and will be for high school jazz bands.
One change from previous years is that we will be prioritizing "first bands" during registration in an effort to support a wider range of bands and students throughout the state. Directors will be able to register multiple groups but any groups marked as "2nd Group" will be automatically waitlisted. One week after registration opens, 2nd bands will be allowed to fill spots in the festival not already taken by 1st groups.
 
Registration will be going live on Monday, November 25th, 2024. Please don't hesitate to reach out to Wade Howles, Jazz Chair at jazz@nsbma.org if you have any questions.
