Lower Merion High School Jazz Festival

The award-winning LMHS Jazz Band will host the Cavalcade of Bands on March 16th, beginning at 6 PM in the Lower Merion HS auditorium. The event features ten fantastic high school jazz bands from the Delaware Valley. This is a wonderful opportunity to experience great jazz music! Guest artists will also include jazz bands from the Lower Merion middle schools and the LMHS a cappella group, Ace Harmony.

The emphasis of Cavalcade Jazz Festivals is "Education Through Musical Involvement." There are no first, second, or third place bands. Each band is a winner; only ratings are announced at the end of the evening, along with special recognition of outstanding sections and soloists. The Cavalcade of Bands Association provides each festival with a panel of three professional music educators to provide positive feedback and suggestions for improvement via taped comments during each performance.
