The Plano West Jazz Ensemble was in full performance mode as Jazz at Lincoln Center (JALC) announced their annual high school jazz band awards. PWSH performed alongside the top fifteen jazz ensembles nationwide, garnering accolades as part of the more than 100 individual and section awards in the prestigious 29th Annual Essentially Ellington High School Jazz Band Competition and Festival. This year's competition was held over the weekend, May 9-11, 2024 at Frederick P. Rose Hall, home of Jazz at Lincoln Center and the hallmark program for the largest jazz education network in the world.

Plano West musicians, ๐‹๐š๐ž๐ฌ๐ข๐จ ๐‹๐ข๐ญ๐ญ๐ฅ๐ž๐ฃ๐จ๐ก๐ง (Bass) and ๐‚๐ฅ๐š๐ฒ๐ญ๐จ๐ง ๐๐ซ๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐จ๐ฅ (Alto Saxophone) received ๐™‰๐™–๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ค๐™ฃ๐™–๐™ก ๐™Š๐™ช๐™ฉ๐™จ๐™ฉ๐™–๐™ฃ๐™™๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™œ ๐™ˆ๐™ช๐™จ๐™ž๐™˜๐™ž๐™–๐™ฃ accolades, while two other bandmates received ๐™‰๐™–๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ค๐™ฃ๐™–๐™ก ๐™ƒ๐™ค๐™ฃ๐™ค๐™ง๐™–๐™—๐™ก๐™š ๐™ˆ๐™š๐™ฃ๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ค๐™ฃ award recognition - ๐Œ๐š๐ญ๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐ฐ ๐Œ๐จ๐จ๐ซ๐ž (Tenor Saxophone) and ๐€๐ ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐ง ๐๐š๐ฅ๐š๐จ-๐Ž๐ฌ๐จ๐ซ๐ข๐จ (Guitar).

The competition is part of the organization's festival of events celebrating the 125th birthday of Duke Ellington, one of music's most influential composers, musicians, and bandleaders; and Jazz at Lincoln Center's lodestar since the organization's founding in 1987.

During the three-day festival, students engaged in a Q&A with members of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra during the orchestraโ€™s open rehearsal, section-specific masterclasses, jam sessions with Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra members, pre-performance rehearsals, a celebratory dinner, and more. New this year, in honor of Ellingtonโ€™s milestone birthday, the program offered eight never-before-available scores of Ellingtonโ€™s music, each representing a different decade of his career (1920s-70s), which bands had the option to play as part of their submission. The weekend culminated in a Saturday night concert and awards ceremony on Jazz at Lincoln Centerโ€™s iconic Rose Theater stage where each top-placing band performed with its choice of Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra member as a featured soloist.

The Essentially Ellington competition is one of the year-round programs Jazz at Lincoln Center produces to honor Ellingtonโ€™s legacy; since the programโ€™s founding in 1996, it has distributed nearly 400,000 Ellington music charts for free to 55,000 high-school bands in 58 countries, involving more than one million students. The Wall Street Journal recently appraised JALCโ€™s mission, calling the organizationโ€™s efforts to create new audiences for Ellingtonโ€™s music โ€œan unprecedented success story.โ€

Congratulations to the amazing Plano ISD musicians and their Plano West Jazz Band director, Preston Pierce!
