Everyone says practice makes perfect. Schools across the world come to perform in competitions whether it’s for academics, extracurricular activities or athletes. Englewood High School’s Jazz Band competed against 39 other bands and combos at the “Mile High Jazz Festival.” The festival was held at Ralston Valley High School in Arvada. The competition was a two-day festival going from Friday, February 4 to Saturday, February 5.
The director of Jazz Band, Marching Band and Regular Band, Del Brickley said, “We were one of only three jazz ensembles to receive a 'Superior' rating from all three judges. This is at least the 8th consecutive year we have achieved this with our top jazz band.”
Brickley said, “Several of them played 'solos' in our performance, and the judges thought their overall performance with the band was deserving of recognition.”
The following received “Outstanding Musicianship Awards": Meagan Wakefield playing the alto sax, Aaron VanDyke on the trombone, Jordan Hyde on the trumpet, Conner Bourque playing the drums, Julian Peterson on the guitar and Jeremiah Fellers playing the bass. Many others won the same award. The Jazz Band plans to continue their great success.
