The North Warren Jazz Band travelled to the Apollo Theatre in New York City on Sunday, April 10 and they nailed their performance!
The band under the direction of Colin MacInnis performed at the NYC jazz festival and was judged by a panel of 4 adjudicators. It was non competitive in nature as the judges only offered encouragement and constructive musical feedback.
The HS Jazz Band is comprised of 13 musicians.The three tunes played by our students in this historic theater were: Una Mas (a medium tempo Latin tune) by Kenny Dorham, It's Only a Paper Moon (Broadway tune) by Harold Arlen featuring Amelia Robbins on vocals and Uptown Funk by Bruno Mars. All participants had a wonderful day in NYC! Our community is very proud of these young people and the music program here at North Warren.
