Jazz All-Stars Part 1 of 3 - Wissahickon Jazz Festival

In what has become a long-standing tradition, the Jazz Band directors perform at the 23rd Annual Wissahickon Middle School Jazz Festival.

The Jazz band directors of the attending middle schools get together and put on a Jazz "improv" session at the end of the Jazz Festival.

Note that because of the 10-minute maximum video length on youtube, I've split this "improv" session into 3 parts, so I could post it in its entirety. Be sure to check out all 3 parts!

As introduced by the festival's announcer, Beth Smith, performing here are:

Mr. Dave Kenny, Strayer Middle School -- Piano
Mr. Alan Shugart, Milford Middle School -- Trombone
Mr. Dave Orehowsky, Pennfield Middle School -- Trumpet
Mr. Peter Neu, Pennbrook Middle School -- Trumpet
Mr. Bob Kennedy, Penndale Middle School -- Trumpet
Mr. Brian Stahl, Upper Moreland Middle School -- Tenor Sax
Mr. Bill Cain, Wissahickon Middle School -- Drums

Thank you, Gentlemen, and to your respective school's Jazz Ensembles, for a great evening of entertainment! We appreciate all the effort and long hours of practice!

Thanks also go out to Wissahickon Middle School for hosting this event, and kicking off the 2008 Jazz Season in style. Bring on those Friday nights!

Be Careful....! It's great to compliment your teacher, but not in a blatant "put down" of the others, especially when you don't know them.

They are each wonderfully talented musicians and teachers, and we are all fortunate to have them share their talents and energy with their students.

I put this video up for those who can appreciate the fun, talent, and entertainment of the event. Let's keep it fun and enjoyable.

Please reconsider your words, or I'll have to remove them.

Thanks.
