Held at the Sinquefield Music Center on the MU Campus in Columbia, MO, this festival is open to middle and high school groups. All groups will receive recorded comments and a clinic. Groups may select to receive a rating, and high school groups have the additional option to receive a rating AND sightread (additional $50). The group with the top overall rating, as well as a "Judges' Choice" group, will receive the opportunity to participate in a Command Performance that evening with the MU Concert Jazz Band at the historic Missouri Theatre.
