The Fort Hays State University Jazz Ensembles will host a concert at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 18, at Beach\/Schmidt Performing Arts Center as well as at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, April 26, at the Downtown Pavilion during the Spring Art Walk.
Between 20-24 students perform in both Jazz Ensemble I and II, with auditions taking place at the beginning of the year for placement.
This year\u2019s concert will feature music from Buddy Rich, Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra and Stan Kenton.
During the Stan Kenton piece, four mellophoniums will be used. \u201cIt is similar to a mellophone used in marching bands but has a different wrap with the tubing and a brighter, more present sound,\u201d said Bradley Dawson, assistant professor of music.
\u201cAnyone who appreciates big band jazz should plan to attend. We have a wide variety of music and I think the audience will not be disappointed,\u201d said Dawson. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
