This concert is their final fundraiser for their

trip to New York (May 4 – 7, 2012) for the

17th Annual Essentially Ellington High School

Jazz Competition. Essentially Ellington is a national

competition and is a part of the Jazz at Lincoln Center

Program headed by Wynton Marsalis. Last year,

DCA Jazz finished in

First Place

at this prestigious

competition considered to be the Super Bowl of

high school jazz competitions. The cost to bring the

students to New York is approximately $30,000.

This performance is also a call to the community

to help these students reach their fullest

potential with ticket proceeds benefiting the

Jazz Education Program at Dillard Center for the Arts.

Only 15 high school bands of over 100

who submitted audition tapes are selected.

This opportunity is a special one – one that the

students worked hard to earn. Please support these

 young artists. Be proud of their accomplishments.

Please join us for sweet music and sweet treats!
