Musical Revue

This year, Elizabeth auditioned for and made Big Band, which is her school's jazz band. One of things she was drawn to when we first visited NWC was that they had two flutes in their jazz band, which is unusual.  After putting in some work on jazz pieces over the summer, she auditioned and was accepted as a member of Big Band.  Two nights a week, she stays at school until 8:30pm for rehearsals (it's exhausting for these parents, let me tell you), but she really enjoys it and she loves the other musicians in the group.  Last weekend, they had their first performance, at a fundraiser for the school.  They sounded really good and she told us that several parts of songs were improvised, which is just amazing.
