ENDING ON A GOOD NOTE, sophomores Samantha Vides and Isabella Giraldez and junior Costanza Prato sing “Like It’s Christmas” to finish off the concert.“Normally, the Jazz Band finishes the show, so some people do not stay for the end. However, with people from all ensembles being a part of the finale, we got a full audience, and it allowed everyone in the department to do one piece together which is pretty cool,” Giraldez said.

PLAYING THE FUGELHORN, senior Max Bendix blows into his instrument as he plays his solo. He played his solo during the Jazz Band performance of the song, “I Remember Clifford.” “I was really sad that this is my last year playing at this concert, but this concert made me realize how far I have come,” Bendix said.

PERFORMING. The Jazz Band opens up their concert with “Winter Wonderland,” a holiday classic. The band was made up of 23 individuals who had to audition for their spots. Music teacher Robert Keating led the musicians. Photo by Daniel Lara

PRACTICING

LAST MINUTE, sophomore Alexander Aparicio plays his pieces one last time during the dress rehearsal before the big performance. He felt prepared, but wanted to get that extra tune in before the big show. “I was getting some last minute practicing in to make sure I would mess up,” Aparicio said.
