Huge shoutout to the North Hunterdon Jazz Ensemble and Mr. Casey Carroll for bringing the heat to the
14th Annual Jazz Band Semifinal Showcase on March 8th! Held at the iconic SteelStacks in Bethlehem, our musicians secured a prestigious “Silver” Excellent rating in a high-caliber competition hosted by ArtsQuest and Moravian University. It wasn’t just a live gig—the performance was televised by Service Electric, giving the ensemble a massive platform to show off their talent alongside the best scholastic bands from across Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
The journey isn’t over yet; the ensemble is currently waiting mid March announcement to see if they’ve punched their ticket to the Finals Showcase. On top of that, individual players are now in the running for the SteelStacks Jazz All-Star Big Band, an elite group that will take the stage at Musikfest on August 1, 2026. A massive congratulations to our incredible students and music staff for their hard work and stellar performance!
