jazzin' It p in Style! This year was busy for those involved in our high school jazz Ensemble. Not only did the members dedicate their time to practice and perfection, but also into attending numerous performances. The students' love of music made them jubiliant and successful. The Ensemble was not only involved in the three concerts within our school, the Holiday Concert, Winter Concert, and Spring Concert, but also showed their ex- pertise at various jazz Ensemble competi- tions. These included competitions in Burlington, Connecticut and Middlesex High School plus the annual Trenton State College jazz Festival. The band also hosted it's own competition on March 6. This was the fourth annual held at South Brunswick High School. The ensemble also included special activities into their season. Among these was the invitation for the U.S. Air Force Band, from Mc Guire Air Force Base, to come and perform for our school. That day was an absolute success. The band was wonderful and all of the students enjoyed it to their fullest otential by BOPPIN in the stands andjsome even on the floor. Another big event for the Ensemble was their trip to Morristown, New jersey on january 30 to perform at the closing ceremonies of the Special Olympics. This year's jazz Ensemble was a great success and hopes that the tradition will continue. sg . . -tr r fifls z , ft .ff . N2 mit AIIWM ,, Play that guitar baby!
