I must say I miss playing the trumpet, especially after listening to the bands tonight. Boy was it a lot of fun to go and hear some of the high schools play. I'm not going to be to critical with the high school jazz band, only to say there was one school I thought would be better than all the others and it was quite the opposite. The were the only school I was really disappointed in.
I would say the the Boardman Jazz Band had to be the best out of the 4 high school bands that were there and the director was a lot of fun to watch direct. It was also the first time I got to hear the Packard Jazz Band and they were fantastic! If you get a chance to see them I would highly recommend it! The best thing of all is that the concert was completely free. Below is a little picture I put together.
