Adjudication Format

The Willamette University Jazz Festival uses a non-competitive festival format, with no posted scores, band placement within divisions or trophies awarded.  In addition to written and taped feedback from our panel of adjucators, each band will receive a clinic following their performance.

One ensemble *may* be selected as the "adjudicators choice" band at the discretion of the judges and have the honor of opening the 7:30 p.m. Festival Concert for Ron Miles and the Willamette Jazz Collective.

Adjudicators and clinicians:

• Paul Lucckessi (Buchanan High School, Clovis, California)
• George Stone (Cuesta College, San Luis Obispo, California)
• Hashem Assadullahi (NYC-based Saxophonist and Composer)
• Justin Morell (Portland-based Guitarist and Composer)
