Jazz band pairs up with elementary band for concert
The jazz band performs during a 2021 concert.
On Thursday, Dec. 15, the jazz band will host a concert. They will be joined by the elementary band during the performance. Band director Larry Detwiler will be conducting this concert.
“A lot of the songs will be what you think of as familiar songs, but in a really different setting. For example, the one jazz band is playing “We Three Kings”, but it’s called “We Three Guys” because as I said it is a funk song. So it’s just a familiar song, but in a different way than you’d expect to hear,” Detwiler said.
The concert starts at 7:00 p.m. and will take place in the high school auditorium. Tickets are $3 each and will be sold at the door prior to the concert.
