Yes, they're that good! Each year, the Hilton High School Jazz Ensemble plays for 25 min. on the Gibbs St. stage at the Rochester International Jazz Fest. This year, on Thurs., June 27 from 6-7 p.m., they will play in the Big Tent at Main St./Gibbs St. "This is a wonderful honor considering most of the events in this particular venue are ticketed, or require the RIJF Club Pass, and are usually offered to professional Jazz Artists/Groups," said Jared Streiff, music teacher. Mark the date and support these talented young artists!
