In addition to the three jazz bands from the school district, we also had alumni performing in the Alumni Jazz band. The US Airforce Shades of Blue stopped by Sun Prairie this past Wednesday Night. The performed a set of Jazz Standards as well as some new compositions. Ensemble Members played for a full House at Sun Prairie East High School and ended the night with a standing ovation!
The 2024.25 school year is official off the ground. This week 60 students participated in our Jazz Kick-off. This year featured breakout sessions led by students on jazz style, active listening, and instrument based master classes.
Members of the US Navy Greatlakes Jazz and Rock Combo visited Sun Prairie. They worked with all three jazz ensembles in short clinics as we round-robin performed for each other. The night was capped off with a set of video-game tunes re-imagines for jazz. There support for our students was fantastic, and they provided a ton of inspiration through their performance!
