The Seton Catholic Middle School Jazz Band
The Seton Catholic Middle School
Jazz Band has gained the reputation of being
among the elite student jazz bands in the area. The band has appeared
as the clinic band for the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra at the Weidner
Center in Green Bay as well as being the opening act for the Neenah
Jazz Festival and the Fox Jazz Festival for the past ten years. They've
had appearances at Seafood Fest, sponsored by the local Rotary Club.
They
have also been the featured performers at the Community Soupster, an
annual fundraiser held at Roosevelt School. A solid ensemble, the band
also possesses a number of outstanding young improvisors as well.
Each April the Seton Catholic Middle
School Jazz Band celebrates Jazz Appreciation Month
(JAM) by gifting the community with a FREE
concert (free-will offering
accepted; the proceeds help to sponsor scholarships to summer jazz
camps for band members.)
Special guests at these concerts have included vocalist Janet Planet, guitarist Tom
Theabo, pianist/composer John Harmon and the Big Band Reunion. This
year's 13th annual JAM concert took place on Tuesday, April 20,
2010 and had as guest artists the Mohawk Avenue Band. |
