Bothell High School’s jazz band was chosen to participate in Starbucks’ 19th annual Hot Java Cool Jazz event to be held at 7 p.m. on April 25 at the Paramount Theatre in Seattle. Bothell will be joined by jazz groups from Ballard, Garfield, Mountlake Terrace and Roosevelt high schools.

The five schools will perform in concert, showcasing the Puget Sound area’s finest young jazz talent. All ticket sales proceeds will go back to the schools in support of their individual music programs as part of Starbucks’ ongoing commitment to support the local youth arts community.
