The District’s Most Talented Musicians Take the Stage at the 2023 All-City Band Festival
April 3, 2023
The 2022-2023 JPS All-City Band Festival was held on March 23, 2023, at the Jackson State University Rose E. McCoy Auditorium. The band is comprised of the best and brightest instrumental scholars from the middle and high school divisions.
To participate, scholars completed a rigorous audition process that included performing major and chromatic scales, solo literature, and sight-reading in a solo setting. Once selected, scholars were ranked in chair order in either the All-City Middle School Honor Band, the All-City High School Honor Band, or the All-City Percussion Ensemble.
Dr. Jason Mathena of Millsaps College and the Mississippi Symphony Orchestra, Brandon Jenkins of Jackson State University, and Dr. Shelby Chipman of Florida A&M University served as clinicians/conductors of this year’s festival.
