The LV Rogers Jazz Band participated in the BC Interior Jazz Festival held April 15 and 16 in Kelowna. The Band performed in the Kelowna festival and received a Silver Rating in their class category! In addition to performing and receiving this great award, students received valuable adjudication feedback from professional jazz educators and performers. The festival also offered students an excellent learning experience, as they had the opportunity to observe a variety of both student and professional jazz ensembles. Overall, it was an incredible opportunity for students to experience jazz music in a large city setting. Students then continued on to perform at the Kootenay Festival of the Arts at JL Crowe in Trail on April 17th. 

Big shout out to the LV Rogers band students and their fabulous conductor, Ms. Jennifer Matosevic!
