McQuaide. f , I, Dedicated to the performance of contem- porary popular music, the Gateway jazz- Rock Ensemble has been a show-stopper at every appearance. Highlighting our activi- ties this year was a joint performance with the Glassboro State College jazz Ensemble for a Gateway audience. Besides performing at our annua seasonal concerts, the Ensem- ble also toured the elementary schools of our district, creating an increased awareness of the Gateway Music Program in future Gateway music students. The jazz-Rock Ensemble is strictly a volun- tary organization which meets in the even- ings, so the level of interest and enthusiasm must be high among the members for the group to enjoy the success it has had this year.
