Roosevelt Jazz

Roosevelt Jazz Band students returned from the May 4-6 Ellington competition with a host of recognitions for outstanding players. Kudos also to our Seattle-area fellow finalists, Ballard and Mountlake High School Jazz Bands, who both played swinging sets. Videos of the competition performances will be available for a few more days at:
