Here's Mikayla Gilbreath (14) performing a song entitled "Funky Cha Cha" with her high school's award-winning Performance Jazz Ensemble.

In preparation for their trip to the Western Int'l Band Clinic, the band (and the members' parents) met to make final arrangements. Afterward, the band "jammed" for about 20 minutes, playing this song and two others.

Just my opinion, but at about 3:30, I think there could've been more piano. But that's just me.

Great job again!
