The jazz festival is more than a concert. After each participating ensemble performs a half-hour set on the stage, the students will have an opportunity to work with a jazz clinician for a half hour. This year�s clinicians are Russ Miller, a Wayne State University jazz professor, and Henry James, band director at Romulus High School.

The performances will be enhanced by the brand new, state-of-the-art sound system made possible by a donation made to the Ferndale Educational Foundation by Ferndale Middle School parent Dr. Terry Braciszewski earlier this year.
