Under the direction of acclaimed Jazz Trumpeter and Grammy winner Dr. Thara Memory, the Pacific Crest Jazz Orchestra, part of the American Music Program, regularly competes in – and wins – student competitions across the country, including The Monterey Jazz Festival, Essentially Ellington at Lincoln Center, The Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival, Swing Central at the Savannah Music Festival, and many more.

American Music Program (AMP) students leave High School with advanced performance skills and a deep understanding of the jazz art form.  This pre-professional training opens the door to social, cultural and global identification and allows students to experience a more meaningful connection between their lives, community, school and the world.

Because of their rigorous training, AMP students often go on to receive scholarships to attend the country’s top music colleges, such as The Juilliard School, Berklee College of Music, Manhattan School of Music, The New School for Jazz, Oberlin College Conservatory, and others.

Money raised by the benefit allows the students to attend the high level, student musician competitions like those listed above.
