Any students considering applying to 鶹Ƶ University are also encouraged to participate. Free lunch will be provided!

DzٲԳܻ:

Student Commitment

Students who register for 鶹Ƶ Jazz Day at no charge (including lunch!) must complete this page with the signature of a parent or guardian. This form acknowledges that both student and parent acknowledge their commitment to the student’s attendance that day. This commitment is essential because each of the specific Jazz Day combos’ personnel are assigned in advance of students’ arrival that morning: substitutes are not necessarily easily found, and we would like to correctly estimate the food cost.
