Hopkins Musicians earn High Honors at National Jazz Festival



On Saturday, April 22, the Hopkins Jazz Band, Jazz Combo, and Jazz Choir traveled to Philadelphia to compete at the national level with schools from across the United States. The City of Brotherly Love was filled with young musicians, eager to play and cheer for each other.

Our students, led by Erik Elligers and Erika Schroth, did extraordinarily well in the competition with Hopkins bringing home the 1st place trophy for Vocal Jazz A Capella, as well as two Outstanding Soloist awards for Demi ‘23 and an Outstanding Vocalist award for Will ‘23. Congratulations to all of our fine musicians on their accomplishments!
