Roosevelt Jazz is considered one of the nation’s top high-school jazz bands and has been regularly selected to participate in the highly competitive Essentially Ellington High School Jazz Band Competition and Festival in New York City, where the band has taken top honors. This current iteration of the trio has been playing and improvising together since middle school. We have Sienna Araya Winquist, who has won the State Solo and Ensemble competition for guitar twice and also plays with Bellevue College Jazz Band; Margot Cox, who plays with the 2026-2027 Jazz Fellowship Futures; and Ramona Cantwell, who shares the stage as one of Roosevelt Jazz’s most requested combo musicians.
