By any measure, the February 21st Hinsdale Central Jazz Concert was a huge success. Lots of terrific music, a couple of great vocals, and some happy patrons. And isn't that what it's all about...people kicking back and enjoying themselves.
Not only was the music rocking the HC student cafeteria but the evening saw our charity raise nearly $1200.00 in addition to having a few instruments donated to the cause of assisting Chalmers Elementary School. The funds will purchase some sorely needed trumpets, trombones and an alto sax.
There are many people to thank for such a wonderful evening!
The Hinsdale Central Music Parents Association was sensational. They had some tasty refreshments and they had the cafeteria transformed into a night club type atmosphere. Aside from the above, the MPA took care of much of the logistical effort into making the various and many arrangements.
The musicians were simply wonderful. They have rarely sounded better!! Thanks to one and all for giving up your night for such a worthy cause. To Matt Kurinsky and Matt Goeke, HC's two jazz directors, please know that I am grateful for all the work you put into get the musicians prepared for this event.
Finally, to all of those of you who attended the event, donated funds as patrons, and brought instruments please know that I am appreciative of your support. Because of you, we are now about to help Chalmers start a band program.
Thank you,
Dick
