Congratulations to the student musicians of the North High School Jazz Program for their inspired and energetic performances at the 2023 Purdue Jazz Festival. The DGN Jazz Ensemble and DGN Jazz Lab Band performed alongside more than 100 high school ensembles from five states across the Midwest. This was the 33rd Annual Purdue Jazz Festival, and DGN's first trip back to the event post COVID-19.
In addition to receiving scores from a panel of adjudicators, each group received real time formative feedback from each judge in an audio recording. This feedback is essential to the continuing growth of both individual students and the musicianship of each ensemble.

The DGN Jazz Ensemble received a Division I rating from the panel of judges, the highest rating on the scoring rubric. Congratulations to Ian McDermott and Adam Pearson, who were tapped with Outstanding Solo award recognitions during DGN performances.
