Families filled Buzzard Hall Saturday morning to participate in Kid's Day 2018. Kid’s Day returned to campus on Saturday after taking a three-year hiatus as a result of the budget impasse that affected Illinois starting in 2015. The event was originally supposed to be in front of Old Main, however because of the heavy rain over the weekend it was moved to Buzzard Hall.

Eastern’s music department hosted a jazz duo recital featuring music professors Scott Hesse and Paul Johnston at the recital hall in the Doudna Fine Arts Center on Saturday night. Hesse, leader of Eastern’s guitar program, and Johnston, professor of jazz studies and jazz piano, performed eight improvised jazz pieces at the recital, one of which was composed by Johnston, with Hesse on guitar and Johnston on piano. Hesse and Johnston said the pieces they performed on stage were heavily improvised. “We’re improvising all of (the songs),” Hesse said. “We’re even improvising upon the melodies themselves.” Johnston said he enjoys performing at faculty recitals because it provides a different learning experience for students interested in jazz. “(Faculty jazz recitals are) a great way to spread musical ideas and listen and respond to other ideas,” he said. Hesse said there will be another jazz recital Sunday, Nov. 11 that he, Johnston and a number of other faculty members will be performing at.
