THE JAG ANTHEM PROJECT
Six students. One stage. The first song JAG has ever called its own.
From across the country, six JAG students were handpicked — by Emmy-nominated artist and Anthem Architect Alexander Star and JAG National Staff — through a competitive video application process. They weren’t chosen to sit in a workshop. They were chosen to make history.
Together, they’ll spend NCDC doing what JAG has always believed young people are capable of: creating something that didn’t exist before they walked in the room.
Working alongside Alexander Star — the independent artist whose music has moved audiences from Super Bowl campaigns to the United Nations, and whose decade-long work with youth has helped hundreds of young people find their voice through song — these six students will write, produce, and record the first-ever JAG Anthem. Built on their lived experiences. Shaped by what JAG has meant to them. Owned by every student who has ever worn this name.
Then they’ll perform it.
Friday night at the Denim and Diamonds Dance. Saturday morning at the Closing Ceremony. In front of the people who get it most.
