CURRENT STUDENTS: The main educational and ensemble program for area music students in grades 8-12 is concluded until November 2025 (when auditions take place) and December 2025 (when rehearsals resume). But in the meantime, check out our first-ever summer instructional offering: the VJC Summer Youth Camp — Jazz Writing Skills, focusing on jazz composition & arranging, slated for June 23–27, 10 AM to 3 PM each day. (Offered free of charge to VJC program participants and alums! Also, the enrollment fee for non-VJCers is very modest!)
PROGRAM ALUMS: In addition to the Jazz Camp mentioned above (offered free of charge to alums, too), we look forward to presenting the VJC Alumni Band concert on Saturday, June 28th @ 7:00 p.m. in Ravenscroft Hall. If you aren't playing on it, still come out to hear it, reconnect with some old friends, and make some new ones!
FRIENDS & FANS: While the main program has concluded, the VJC Alumni Band is still to come, with a concert in Ravenscroft Hall on Saturday, June 28th @ 7:00 p.m. Learn more about that show—and purchase tickets—HERE.
