The concert will be hosted by Hamilton Southeastern, where each performance will be scored by three judges. “We’ll focus on (a section of the piece),” Messiha said, “we start to have the entire song come together.”

The jazz bands are preparing for Jazz a la Mode, a concert for the five jazz bands on April 25 and April 26. According to Director of Bands Michael Pote, the five jazz ensembles are working on new pieces for the concert.
