Roosevelt Jazz Band to be in Hot Java Cool Jazz 2022

Congratulations to Director Scott Brown and the students of Jazz Band 1! They will have the honor of playing in the Starbucks Hot Java Cool Jazz concert at the Paramount Theater on Friday, March 18, 2022 at 7:00 p.m., along with Edmonds-Woodway, Garfield, Mount Si and Mountlake Terrace high schools.

Plans are underway for a LIVE, in-person event and following county guidelines for maximum COVID safety. Tickets are not yet on sale; details on how to purchase tickets will be posted in January. For now, save the date! We hope to see you there for this swinging evening of jazz.

A huge thank you to Starbucks for their sponsorship of this event, which raises tens of thousands of dollars for jazz education in Seattle, year after year. Time for a Peppermint Mocha…
