Register your group

Performance Review includes 55 minutes with accomplished artist educators. During this time, the group performs selections of its own choice and receives on-the-spot coaching and feedback immediately afterward. Groups will receive a recording of their performance that includes the artist educators’ comments.

In addition, all participants can vie for a spot in the Festival Showcase, experience improv while playing with the talented house band(s) during the Jam Session(s), expand their jazz horizons at clinics and daytime concerts led by experts in the field, and watch captivating superstars in concert.

Online group registration and payment of group registration fees must be received before a group is accepted into the Festival. Group registrations will be accepted until two weeks before the Festival or until the Festival is full (whichever is sooner).

Individual passes
