Local middle school and high school bands will get a chance to shine as the Ridgefield Playhouse’s BandJam competition returns in 2021 on June 6.
“It’s a show for kids, run by kids and gets people who are interested in music and the arts to come and perform,” said Allison Stockel, the Ridgefield Playhouse’s executive director. “It’s like American Idol, where they try out before judges and then we whittle it down to the top middle school and high school bands, and they do a full performance and get feedback from our judges.”
