We’re still floating on CLOUD NINE after our very first LA Jazz Festival Foundation Youth Band performance! 🌟 The music was on 🔥, and we couldn’t be prouder of our students for sharing all they learned during this historic 5-day inaugural Summer Youth Jazz Intensive. 🎶

Special thanks to for providing an incredible meal, .hutt for recognizing our young musicians and celebrating with us, for blessing the stage with a stunning set, and our amazing partners , , , , , , and others who helped make this milestone possible.

And the BIGGEST thanks of all go to our teachers and students — the heart of this camp — for making this dream a reality and carrying the legacy of jazz music forward. 🎷🎺✨
