26 students from the SW Jazz program attended and participated in the Head of the Jazz Festival at UM Duluth this past weekend.
The Big Band performed for clinicians at 9:10am and two jazz combos, Tell Me and Pistachio, played at 11:10am.
Nelle Anderson (2), Louie Umbarger(2), Sophia Mickman and Anthony Afful were all recognized with Outstanding Performance certificates for their contributions to the Big Band and/or the combo performances.
The day ended with a performance by the UMD Jazz I Band with guest artist, Ingrid Jensen (trumpet). She was a great female role model for our nine girls that came on the Jazz trip.
Kudos to all the SW jazz musicians for their performances in Duluth.
