DVC vocal jazz ensembles win big at Reno Jazz Festival
May 18, 2017
Join us in congratulating two DVC vocal jazz ensembles, Dreaming in Burgundy and Silent
K, for placing first and third in their division at the Reno Jazz Festival. The Music Department took nearly 50 instrumental and vocal students to the three
day event. Participants enjoyed competing, listening to other ensembles, and learning
new skills in clinics with leading jazz educators from around the country. One of
the highlights included seeing the performance of jazz legend Joshua Redman and The
Bad Plus.
Both vocal jazz ensembles are led by faculty members Bret Peppo and Ben Flint with
student directors Jasmine Reyes and Holly Camacho. DVC applauds both groups for their
dedication to music and thanks them for their hard work in representing our school
at the festival. Congratulations!
