FHS Band performs at UCONN music festival

Farmington High School Jazz Band performed in the UConn Jazz Festival on February 10th. The annual UConn Jazz Festival is a non-competitive and educationally-rewarding experience that provides a forum for mutual support of each ensemble's efforts while enhancing skills in the jazz idiom. Highlights of the festival include a twenty-minute performance time for each ensemble in von der Mehden Recital Hall, a twenty-minute personalized clinic by a UConn Jazz faculty member, instrument-specific master classes, and a mini-concert by the UConn Jazz Ensemble and UConn Jazz faculty.
Congrats to our musicians and FHS band director, Jeff Ventres, for a great day of music making and visiting a university campus. Thanks to the UCONN Jazz professors: Earl McDonald, John Mastroianni and Steve Bulmer
