Pops Concert Jazz Band
The reponse to everyone's stellar performance at the Pops Concert this past Tuesday has been wonderful. I will be posting some concert highlights. However, for now, I wanted to get one particular piece posted since the very talented sax soloist in this Jazz number has family in from out of town this weekend. CONGRATULATIONS, Josh! By the way, the "Big Kid" sitting in with the trombones is Fallsburg Junior-Senior High School Principal, Mr Michael Williams. Way to go, Mr Williams! This famous jazz tune is called "Basic Basie" Please enjoy it.
I didn't realize how many talented Mountaindale musicians were going to be participating in the various performances that evening. In addition to the Schmitt Family Trio on trumpets and Josh H on sax, we also enjoyed Danny J in another trumpet piece and Deanna P showed her lovely voice in a Chamber Chorus solo.

I received some great response yesterday regarding the Pops Concert & the Trumpet Trio. A proud mom told me that her 11 year old daughter is now inspired to work hard to become a great trumpet player so that she can perform wonderful pieces like "Bugler's Holiday" at a future band concert.
