The jazz bands across Columbus City Schools have been working hard all year preparing repertoire for the annual CCS JazzFest!

CCS JazzFest takes place this Saturday Feb 9 from 9:30 a.m. – 4 p.m. at the Lincoln Theatre Complex (769 East Long Street Columbus).

As the public watches a rotation of phenomenal musicians inside the Lincoln Ballroom, students will be upstairs in the Jazz Academy warming up and participating in clinics to hone their skills as a jazz musician.

Enjoy a full day of experiencing the exciting young talent from Columbus. Doors are open from 9 to 5 and light refreshments and snacks will be available for purchase. Admission is free and audience members are welcome to come and go as they please.
