The Edison Jazz Bands are winding down another great year of success!
Jazz Band 1 & Jazz Band 2 each take first place at the Illinois State University Jazz Fest
Jazz Band 2 took first place in the Junior High class B division with a wonderful performance. The adjudicator told the students how impressed he was with how they listened to each other and made adjustments when necessary. He said Middle School students are not typically as refined in doing that as this band showed they were.
Jazz Band 1 took first place in the Junior High division. The adjudicator praised them and told them that any criticisms that he may have would just be nit-picking things and they should be very proud of themselves and enjoy their time together in performing.
Congratulations to all the Jazz Band students!
From Mr. Lehman: Excellent job at ISU this weekend (Sat., Apr. 14, 2007)! I had multiple directors, parents, and students from other schools come up to me and compliment not only our performances, but all of our parental support as well--it wouldn't be possible to do without all of your help. Thanks so much to all of the chaperones and road crew!
