Welcome!
Tonight's concert is a celebration of all the work we've done in jazz band this year, and also special send off for our seniors Margaret and Lang. Thanks for coming out!
We've been working really hard on improvizing this year, and at the Bellevue High School Jazz Festival back on May 6th, the following students earned Outstanding Soloist Awards. Congrats to these musicians!
Lang Armstrong, Isaiah Beyer, Connor Firth, Margaret Haley, Stella Saleh, Miles Wieland, & Cascade Kaseler.
Congratulations to Lang Armstrong, our 2023 Louis Armstrong Award Winner, and Margaret Haley, our 2023 Woody Herman Jazz Award Winner. Both seniors have shown outstanding leadership and musical acheivement during their times at BHS, and will will miss them next year! Congrats, and good luck, you two!
