"I believe the concert will be fantastic The Jazz Ensemble has a large variety of music of a number of style," said John Ungurait, assistant director of the bands and low brass instructor. "We will open with a number made famous by the Gordon Goodwin's Big Phat Band, 'Count Bubba.' We are also performing Take Five from the Brubeck Quartet Album 'Time Out' and there is always room for some Baise and Les Hooper."

This year's band have explored different sounds including that of funk and soul legends, Tower of Power, progressive jazz musicians such as Ron Nelson, and funky tunes by Jaco Pistorius. Performances like this seek to challenge the young musicians' talents and abilities while also showcase all that they've developed so far.
