Last spring the DGN Jazz Ensemble was honored with an invitation to perform this coming January (2014) at the Illinois Music Education Conference in Peoria. Students are hard at work preparing music for that important performance, and tonight the band welcomed professional trumpeter and music teacher Tom Tait as a guest clinician. Mr. Tait is the first of seven guest-conductors who have agreed to serve as mentors to the band leading up to the January 23rd performance.
Thank you, Mr. Tait, for a great night of work with the full ensemble, as well as the trumpet section. It was a pleasure to have you with us, and to learn from you.
