The Surrey School District proudly presents the Surrey Schools Jazz Festival, now in its 41st year, as one of Canada's largest and most unique jazz festivals. This year, the event offers two days of jazz performances by secondary school jazz musicians followed by personalized clinics for each of the ensembles.

This year, Darlene will be joining a host of adjudicators who are “professional musicians in their own right …and are committed to providing our young musicians with valuable comments on their musical performances, and offer advice and strategies to help them and their directors strive for even greater musical achievement.”
