Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival

We spent Thursday-Sunday at the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival in Moscow, Idaho with our high school bands. We stay in local churches and get a chance to see clinics, concerts and to perform. Below is a photo of Annie's band practicing in the Catholic church Friday morning.


Below is Annie's band performing Saturday morning at the jazz fest.
After the performance we had an adjudication by Chris Bruya, the jazz director of Central Washington University. He had some positive and helpful comments for the band.

We got the opportunity to watch some University of Idaho groups perform during the festival. It was great to see several of Kent's students who are now music majors at Idaho. Below is a photo of Steev Turner who played with several of the jazz groups. He is doing a great job performing on vibes.
