Please click here for online registration for the 2026 UP Jazz Festival, featuring guest artist Victor Garcia. The registration fee for each school's first entry is $250. The registration fee for each subsequent entry is $125 per band. Applications will be accepted until all spots are filled. Payment may be made online via Converge (preferred) or by check to reserve a space for your band.

*Please note that the UP Jazz Festival features a one-day, non-competitive, educational format for high school and middle school bands, with "Outstanding Soloist" awards given to individuals from each visiting band. This year, we will present the feature performance with our guest artist and the UP Jazz Ensemble in the afternoon, in order to ensure availability for visiting student groups who cannot attend an evening concert. Please contact Dr. Don Norton (nortond@up.edu) with any questions.
