Jazz All-Stars Part 3 of 3 - Wissahickon Jazz Festival
In what has become a long-standing tradition, the Jazz Band directors perform at the 23rd Annual Wissahickon Middle School Jazz Festival. The Jazz band directors of the attending middle schools get together and put on a Jazz "improv" session at the end of the Jazz Festival. Note that because of the 10-minute maximum video length on youtube, I've split this "improv" session into 3 parts, so I could post it in its entirety. Be sure to check out all 3 parts! As introduced by the festival's announcer, Beth Smith, performing here are: Mr. Dave Kenny, Strayer Middle School -- Piano Mr. Alan Shugart, Milford Middle School -- Trombone Mr. Dave Orehowsky, Pennfield Middle School -- Trumpet Mr. Peter Neu, Pennbrook Middle School -- Trumpet Mr. Bob Kennedy, Penndale Middle School -- Trumpet Mr. Brian Stahl, Upper Moreland Middle School -- Tenor Sax Mr. Bill Cain, Wissahickon Middle School -- Drums Thank you, Gentlemen, and to your respective school's Jazz Ensembles, for a great evening of entertainment! We appreciate all the effort and long hours of practice! Thanks also go out to Wissahickon Middle School for hosting this event, and kicking off the 2008 Jazz Season in style. Bring on those Friday nights!
