The Glasgow High School Jazz Ensemble will be performing at the University of Delaware Jazz Festival on Friday, April 16, 2010.  The ensemble will be performing at the University of Delaware’s Amy E. DuPont music building.  The UD Jazz Festival is a non-competitive event where middle school and high school ensembles perform throughout the day for adjudicators and their peers.  Adjudicators will be recording comments for the ensemble as they perform and will sometimes even meet with the band to make suggestions.

Following all the high school performance­­s, in the evening, there are performances by the UD Faculty Jazz Ensemble and the U. S. Army Blues jazz ensemble at 7:00.  At the end of the evening concert, awards will be given out to outstanding sections and soloists.

The festival lasts throughout the day, so members of the GHS Jazz Ensemble will arrive at school, meet in the band room, and take a bus to the University of Delaware.  Students should pack food for a light lunch.  After the faculty jazz ensemble, we will be walking to Pat’s Pizza on Elkton Rd for dinner.

Attire for the event is the jazz ensemble red shirt and black pants with gold tie for the guys and a red top and black pants/skirt for the girls.  No sneakers!  The band will be performing three songs: “Softly as in a Morning Sunrise”, “Narnian Dance”, and “La Suerte de los Tantos”.
