new slt jazz-band-standalone

The Great Bend High School Jazz Band, under the direction of Mark DeWald, poses for a photo before playing for the Great Bend Noon Kiwainis Club, Wednesday at Perkins Restaurant. Because it was May 4, the band’s selections included some Star Wars music. May the Fourth be with you!

Jazz fans also noted that 5/4 is Dave Brubeck Day. The Dave Brubeck Quartet is known for the jazz piece "Take Five," composed by Paul Desmond, which is in 5/4 time.
