It was a very cold evening, but it was fun to see the Richmond and Hanover High Jazz bands play in the Hanover High auditorium. In particular, Megan Spinella sang very well on The Look of Love and It Don’t Mean a Thing. And there was a strange coincidence of the independent selection of Michael Jackson tunes.
But the highlight for me was Little Suede Shoes. Both groups combined on stage, and there were 2 lines at each microphone, one for the middle school, and one for the high school. Soloists from each school did a few bars back and forth, and it was fun to see the younger players work with their older peers. This was a great idea.
