Jazz Festival
Festival Date: January
Application/Fees Deadline: December
Location: UNLV, Alta Ham Fine Arts & Beam Music Center
Jazz Festival is a
fun recital environment in which students can perform “lighter”
repertoire. It is open to all ages. Recitals are short, about 30-45
minutes in length. At the conclusion of each recital there is a door
prize drawing for one lucky student. All students receive a
Certificate of Participation.
Jazz Festival is a great opportunity to “break in” new students to
performance, as it is a fun no-pressure atmosphere. If there are
enough adult students, they may participate in a special recital set
aside for them.
Rules:
1. Entry fee: $6 per student per event (solo and/or ensemble).
Application/fees deadline: Saturday, December 18, 2004. This date
will be strictly observed. Plan ahead. No applications will be
accepted in January. Prepare one application for each requested time
slot. Collect fees from parents and write only one check (payable to LVMTA).
