Registration - School Information | Berkleejazz.org - Home of the Berklee High School Jazz Festival

All members of each competing ensemble must attend the same high school program.
"All-star bands", such as community schools composed of members from various high schools, may only participate in non-competing classes.
If a school has more than one large ensemble, combo, or vocal group performing, student performers must be completely different unless they are not playing the same instrument or the festival committee grants permission.

Jazz.NEXT support is enabling the development of a new open-source interactive website – berkleejazz.org - featuring online access to student/faculty rehearsal clinics, performance and instructional webcasts and artist/instructor profiles, and streaming of festival performances, among other content.
