• Clinics at CWU, Ellensburg High School and CleElum High School <br />• Masterclasses at CWU <br />• Performances at EHS <br />• Provided free concerts in the Central Washington University Music Department <br />Recital Hall <br />In 2012, we started offering scholarships to students wanting to major in Jazz studies at <br />CWU . We currently provide a $1000 scholarship to an incoming students and a $500 <br />scholarship to a returning student. <br />Over our 21 years, Jazz in the Valley contributed $35,600 in support of local music <br />educational programs . <br />A number of years ago CWU offered a Jazz camp for high school students the week prior <br />to our festival. It was so successful that even though the timing conflicts with other camps <br />across the State, staring in 2017 they have committed to offering the camp every year. <br />This opened a number of collaborative possibilities: <br />-In the past, we offered the campers and their instructors complimentary Friday <br />night <br />passes to experience the fabulous musicians plying their trade. <br />-This year, their distinctive T-shirts served as a pass to the entire weekend event. <br />-For the past two years, the band campers have performed a free concert for our <br />community and supporters prior to the Saturday's start of that day's event. <br />-This year the families of the Band-campers could purchase festival tickets at half <br />price. <br />Note: 99% of band members live outside of Kittitas County.
