Meanwhile, at Roosevelt -

The Jazz Band is again going to the Essentially Ellington Festival where they will compete in the finals May 11-13th. This website (https://www.jazzlive.com/essentially-ellington-23) will take you to the festivals page and links where you can see the students perform.  Bothell and Garfield are also in the finals.  

There is a  great article in the Seattle Times about  Hannah Mowry who took over as band director after Scott Brown’s retirement last spring. See it at https://www.seattletimes.com/entertainment/music/roosevelt-high-schools-new-band-director-smashes-jazzs-glass-ceiling
