Evening of Jazz: Incredible Workshop and Concert Experience

On April 11th guest professional jazz musicians from The Brian Thomas Group came to Falmouth High School and spoke to 26 high school and junior high musicians from Falmouth and neighboring schools. The professionals ran a jazz clinic with the students focusing on stylistic approach and skills required to be a jazz musician and practiced together for several hours. Later on, the FHS Jazz Ensemble and The Brian Thomas Group prepared a combined number that was premiered on Saturday, April 12th during the 2 hour ‘Evening of Jazz’ concert at the Sea Crest Beach Hotel.  This experience could only be possible through the generosity of these professional musicians who provided invaluable education to the kids and performed at the concert, the dedication of FHS Director of Instrumental Studies, Steven Edwards, and the generous support of Falmouth businesses that partnered with the Falmouth Band Parents: The Sea Crest Beach Hotel, The Falmouth Road Race, Hampton & Blake Builders, Inc. and Hannoush Jewelers.

These jazz events are certainly a tribute as professional musicians, students, parents and community supporters are brought together to celebrate the art form of Jazz. The talents of the FHS Jazz Ensemble can continue to be enjoyed this summer at Sea Crest Beach Hotel who has once again invited them to perform at Sunday Brunch.
