Laingsburg Middle School jazz band students had a performance on Saturday, the 21st, at the Laingsburg High School. They were the opening performance for the high school jazz band. They played 4 songs, which were; Eye Of The Tiger, Night Train, Heard It Through The Grapevine, and The Final Countdown. There are 2 jazz bands, they combined twice before the performance, including practicing with the high schoolers once. They learned more notes, and new rhythms. The students gained more confidence, as they played. This was Laingsburg Middle School’s second jazz band performance. They played to raise money for the high school jazz band, and regular band. There was dinner for the audience, such as mashed potatoes, soup, spanish rice, white rice, sweet and sour chicken, and salad. For dessert, there was chocolate cake, and cookies, and for drinks there was lemonade, tea, and water. The audience had a great time. Mr. Cousineau, the band director, was expecting to have 125 people, but instead they had to add extra seats, cook more food, and have more tables, because there was more people than he expected. In all, there was about 200 people. Overall this was a great performance for both the high school jazz band, and middle school jazz band.
