Jazz band performs in Augusta
Last week I stood to stretch from sitting for a time in my cubby and gazed out at the State House dome. I looked down and there I saw a group of students in the parking lot with musical instruments. I grabbed my camera and ran down the 5 flights of steps with hopes of learning who they were.
I got there in time to speak to the three adults standing by the open van with instruments in the back. The students were all gone but the band director, Jerry Barry from Falmouth Middle School told me that the jazz band had just been in to perform at the opening of the House session.
Jerry’s excitement helped me to imagine the students playing and the pride in all of them. Luckily Jerry had photos of them he had taken earlier and he was kind enough to include in this post. The one of the three adults is Jerry and two parent volunteers.
