The jazz ensemble and repertory jazz band played a concert at The Attic in Livingston on Nov. 4 with over 75 people attending, said band director Garrett Stannard.  Guest educator musician Erica von Kleist of Whitefish helped the bands rehearse for several days leading up to the performance, which is part of their musical coursework.  Von Kleist attended the New York Julliard School of Music, which Stannard said is one of the top three jazz education schools in the world.

Students in these ensembles rehearse twice a week in a zero hour class before school, and this two-hour concert was one of their public performances.
