The band plays during the fall pep rally.

On Sept. 29, the jazz band will travel to a local retirement home to play for the residents.

“I am really excited to play for the people in the retirement home. It feels good to see their reactions and expressions when we play for them,” senior Dylan Free said. 

“I think it’ll be fun,” senior Brian Beere said.“We don’t get to do this often. It’s something that we enjoy, and they enjoy as well.”

The band looks forward to their time at the retirement home and the time they get to spend with the residents.
