I am in back row, second from left, third from left is John Lauffenburger, he was the 1st bass player in Stoney Creek band.
The Big Band went to Reno, NV to play in a national school jazz competition. This is the instuction handout.
I saw a huge amount of incredible musicians perform and give seminars ranging from students to pros.
I remember one highlight of the weekend, I was able to see and hear Art
Pepper perform with his jazz band shortly before he passed away.
