 FFCS hosts Jazz Festival
Some of the regions finest high school and middle school jazz musicians took the stage at
Fonda-Fultonville High School at the district's annual Jazz
Festival on Thursday, Feb. 14. Bands from Mayfield,
Westmoreland, New Hartford, Oneida, Oppenheim-Ephratah,
Broadalbin-Perth, LaSalle Institute, Gloversville, Canajoharie,
and Amsterdam joined three Fonda-Fultonville ensembles in the
all-day event.
Each group played three selections for a panel of three judges
who offered comments on the the performance and then assigned a
ranking of gold, silver, or bronze. Unlike a competition where
groups would have competed against each other, the only goal was
to hear other musicians and to have an opportunity to celebrate
jazz music.
For Fonda-Fultonville musicians, the concert also serves as a
warm-up for competitions coming later in the spring.
