The third annual Hinsdale Central Jazz Ensemble Benefit was marvelous in so very many ways! The February 23rd concert was full of sensational jazz. All three ensembles were simply brilliant!The larger Hinsdale community simply loves their jazz and there was no better proof of it than the fact that it was a standing room only crowd in the student cafe. Every person who attended raved about the music.
It was a marvelous night in terms of raising funds for Live Oak Elementary School in New Orleans. The final admission and donation tally was a staggering $2198.00! Beyond the cash we were able some other contributions; an electric guitar, a couple of trumpets and a sax. Quite a haul and these will go a long way towards helping Live Oak get their music program up and running.
The success of the night belongs to many; the jazz musicians, HC Jazz Director Jeff Waggoner, Debbie Waggoner (and, of course, their daughter), the patrons, the HC Music Parents Association, and the HC Central Bldg and Ground Department. Together these people made for a memorable night.
Many thanks!
