The band students at Great Bend Middle School have been keeping busy this past nine weeks with performances, clinics and contests. First, the GBMS Jazz Band traveled to Hutchinson on Feb. 1, to take part in the Bryce Luty Jazz Festival at Hutchinson Community College. The jazz band had a great performance and then a clinic with Neal Alsup, one of the festival adjudicators. Several students received “Outstanding Performer Awards.” They were: Ian Jennings, trumpet; Haley McCormick, alto saxophone; Brantley Schaffer, trumpet; and Natalie Williams, alto saxophone.
