Looking forward to these students having many opportunities to perform, listen and learn about jazz. Next month, the students will go to Nokomis High School to observe, and meet the Artist in Residence.
The following is a letter from Mr. Buchanan about the Artist in Residence:
I have some very exciting news to report about our Artisit-In-Residence this year as well as some changes to this concert. Jeff Coffin, saxophonist with the Dave Matthew Band, has accepted my invitation to perform at our annual Artist-In-Residence program! Mr Coffin is well known in musical circles as the man who plays two saxophones at the same time as well as bring an excellent musicians. We have had Jeff here before and the kids loved him. This will be an exciting concert that you should put on your must see list.
- Also performing at this Nov 16th concert will be our Swing Chorus and our Vocal Jazz Ensemble in addition to our Jazz Band, Jazz Combo, and Jazz Ensemble.
- Another big change will be an admission charge for this concert.
- In these trying times fund raising has become increasingly more difficult and travel costs, especially for the jazz groups, has gone through the roof.
- We hope that all understand the reasoning for the admission charge and come support our kids and listen to a world class musician.
- This will be the only concert that we will be charging for this coming school year.
- Adults $5.00, Students and Senior Citizens $3.00, and a special Family ticket for all in the immediate family for just $12.00.
- This looks to be a very exciting year for our student musicians at all levels both vocal and instrumental.
