TMS Jazz Jamboree

03/21/2024

After 26 years, TMS Jazz Jamboree era has come to an end. We want to thank all the students, band directors, clinicians, and professional musicians who have made the festival what it was through the years.

The Chicagoland Jazz Workshop at Buffalo Grove High School has opened two middle school rooms for our Jamboree bands to consider as a replacement. The Chicagoland Jazz Workshop embodies the Jazz Jamboree’s format by offering a non-competitive festival with excellent clinicians and a professional ensemble for your students to hear. The 2025 Workshop takes place on Saturday, January 25th, 2025. Registration will open April 17, 2024.
