The Camden Creative Arts Jazz Band represented the city of Camden, their school, all the east coast jazz bands and family and friends very well at the Next Generation Jazz Festival at the Monterey Jazz Festival in California. They finished tied for fourth among 12 finalist. Great job guys. Arnetta Johnson was named the top soloist which came with a 50% scholarship for the Berklee Collage of Music Summer program.The band did make quite of few fans while at the festival due to their performance which included the 2012 Artist in Residence Ambrose Akinmusire. Congratulations band, we are so proud of you. Next up is the Cavalcade of Bands Yankee Championship at Unionville High School on April 14th. Competition starts at 6pm with the band scheduled to be on stage at about 9:20pm. Best of luck.
