JAMS Instrumental Music Performance Festival!

We embarked on a brand new venture!  The inaugural JAMS Instrumental Music Performance Festival took place on Friday, April 1, 2022 in the JAMS Performing Arts Center.  Each of the three bands and three orchestras performed for one another (a first-time experience!) which served as an enriching opportunity to celebrate our music community. Families were invited to join the event via livestream.  Bravi tutti!
