On Feb. 8, the 42nd Annual Jazz Fest was held at the Winnetka Campus in Gaffney Auditorium. Throughout the day, middle school band students learned from jazz students and talked with the high school band teachers about the music courses offered at New Trier High School. Ranging from professional jazz players coming in to speak with the students and the students getting to perform in concerts, it was a busy day for everyone.
