The musicians from Rockbridge County High School will open the show. Under the artistic direction of Miranda Fitzgerald, this group offers a fun and vibrant collection of jazz band selections. There is a history of these two groups joining forces annually, and both bands are excited to revive this tradition.

After half-time the University Jazz Ensemble takes over, presenting sounds from classic swing to contemporary fusion. Their dynamic and eclectic selections of jazz pieces will showcase the ensemble’s versatility and creativity.

To round out the evening, and the concert season, the musicians from both bands will join together in a wild hard-blowing finale.
