Band Jammed

I would venture to say that a significant proportion of the families in the Unionville-Chadds Ford School District descended on the high school on Friday evening for the "Band Jam," a district-wide concert performance with UHS student Meg Boeni as mistress of ceremonies.
First the fourth-grade musicians from Pocopson and Chadds Ford elementary schools played two pieces; then the fourth graders from Hillendale and Unionville. Then the fifth-grade bands took the stage, then the middle school, and on up to the high-school jazz band and combined band. Judging by the elementary-school performances, there will be no shortage of percussion talent in the high-school marching band for some years to come.
Conductors were Ken Miller, Ryan Fegley, James O'Rourke and G. Scott Litzenberg.
What a great idea to have all the schools performing together.
