On Friday 11/9, the YHS Jazz Band traveled to NYC to see the big band at the legendary Birdland Jazz Club. Ms. Kluga was so pleased with the whole experience for our students; the band was fabulous, and Mr. Childers, our new MESMS 7&8th grade band director, was a wonderful host. Mr. Childers plays sax in the Birdland band and introduced many of his fellow musicians to our students, which was a real treat! Thank you to our awesome parent chaperones for helping make this experience a success for our students!
