DeKalb students entered the virtual Purdue Jazz Festival by submitting recordings of its students.
âTo no surprise did the Brigade have our amazing students recognized for their solos,â Lank said. âParker Morton on tenor sax, Jacob Hanes on trombone, Lucas Hanes on trumpet, John Voirol on bass and Landon Snyder on the kit were all recognized for their hard work and solo preparations.â
This weekend all three of DeKalbâs jazz bands will perform in person in a jazz festival at Snider High School at Fort Wayne.
âThe Brigade has been incredibly fortunate that during this time of COVID and uncertainty, we have been able to grow our jazz program from two after-school ensembles to three,â Lank said.
