l Mr. Ken Howat. When the Jazz Ensemble players first came into the class they didn't quite know what jazz was, so they learned a whole new con- cept of what jazz was and how to play it. The class really opened their eyes up. Mr. Howat, the leader, commented, I enjoyed teaching them. After learning all the how- tos they played for the Fashion Show on January 19 that was sponsored by the Home Economics Dept. To them, the Fashion Show was a different experience. They enjoyed it and played well. On February 14, Roger Pemberton came to Redding to put on a performance with the Enterprise and Shasta Jazz Ensembles. Nova's Jazz Ensemble watched them all day and learned about jazz. 'H -M' Q X . f...w.za JAZZ ENSEMBLE ROW 1 Richard Rumble. ROW 2: David M0er1. Harris.
