My cousin, Hannah, is in the North Jazz Band.
The director of said band is responsible for the care and nurturing of my piccolo from high school. I’ve been working on an appropriate thank-you and have so far not summoned the right words. While you wait for that, here is information about an upcoming concert that sounds grand:
Come Celebrate Mardi Gras with the Bloomington North Advanced Jazz Band and New Orleans guitarist, Dan Sumner!
Date: Tuesday, February 20th
Time: 7:30 p.m.
Where: BHSN Auditorium
Cost: $5 per adult; students and senior citizens $2FREE BEADS, while they last !!
Dan Sumner spent 15 years living and performing in New Orleans before Hurricane Katrina forced him to relocate here in Bloomington. He brings a wealth of knowledge to our students regarding traditional New Orleans music and street beats. A good time is guaranteed !
Amy’s note: Here’s hoping they play “fly me to the moon,” a piece that brings back very fond memories of my own high school jazz band “big band” concert.
