The Juniata High school Jazz Band concert was on April 13th at 7pm. This also included the Jr. High Jazz Band that will be performed first. One of the songs the high school band preformed is called “Honk” written by Jeff Jarvis and it's a funky jazz tune that is fast paced and very fun. The opening song is called ironically, “The Opener” and it is very fast, short and sweet, but was very effective in getting the audience's attention. Another piece the band is performed is called “Bridge Over Troubled Water” arr. by Paul Baker and it is a relaxing song with lots of trumpet melody which almost gives it a nostalgic feel. “Over the Rainbow” was performed, and you may have recognized this song from the movie The Wizard of Oz, and this song also has a lot of trumpet solos and melodies. “The Children of Sanchez” is a very unique song compared to all of the others, with a completely different feel but is super light and joyful. There were many more songs that were performed and the students did an excellent job playing!
