Jazz and Symphony

At Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School on November 14, 2008, there took place the Annual Senior Jazz Concert and Symphonic Band. As an alumnus of this school, I’ve seen the previous concerts. It felt strange stepping back into that concert hall. Every year around the same time the Senior Jazz Band and the Symphonic Orchestra performed together in an hour and half concert. Every year the concerts kept getting better. Now that many of my friends from the class of ’08 had left, I was skeptic. Did talent leave this school last summer? Much to my surprise, talent has surely not left LaGuardia. The concert overall was amazing. There were many great soloists and pieces as a whole band. However at one point of the show my attention was lost. Perhaps the song choice was too similar to the song that they had performed right before. Other than this small attention lost, it was another year of great music.
