Sandy and Friends’ Prom Pics

Sandy and a gaggle of her friends hosted their own potluck dinner on Prom Night this past June.  After taking a few photos of the group in the back yard, two departed with other friends, and the remaining eight headed down to Dahl Field just to hang out for a while before the drive to the dance.  I tagged along and took some additional photos of the group dressed in their prom night finery.

Spring Concert 2010

A dozen Roosevelt Jazz Band students performed in their final spring concert at the high school concert hall on June 18th.  They sounded terrific as usual, performing from the Ellington catalog and from other selections from this past year.  Director Scott Brown gave out a musicianship award to senior drummer Nolan Woodle.

Roosevelt Jazz Band at McCaw Hall

On 9 June, Roosevelt and Garfield jazz bands were invited to perform on one of the most prestigious stages in Seattle:  McCaw Hall.  Usually reserved for operas and other extravaganzas, the concert hall hosted these two award winning jazz bands for a special fund raising performance in which all donations were split between the bands.  Approximately 1000 people attended this free concert.
