2013 Swing Central Festival







Congratulations to the student musicians in the Jazz Ensemble from South High School in Downers Grove and their director, Craig Roselieb, for their tremendous showing at the 2013 Swing Central Festival in Savannah, Georgia.  12 high school jazz bands from all over the country competed in the festival, held in the stunning Lucas Theatre in downtown Savannah.  When the dust settled, the expert panel of five adjudicators selected DGS as the second place ensemble from the festival, earning high artistic praise and  $2,500 prize money.  The band also earned the opportunity to perform on the evening finale concert with bands from California and Florida.  Well done Mustang musicians - we are proud of your continued sonic success at a national level!
