Five students from Esko were among the region's top high school jazz musicians to gather Oct. 21 at the University of Wisconsin Superior for a day of advanced skill clinics and performances during the annual Tri-State Honor Jazz Band Festival.
The students spent the day working with clinician Jim Carlson, a music professor at the University of Minnesota-Morris who is an active and influential force in music education in Minnesota. In the evening they performed a public concert as two jazz ensembles. Recordings of the performances are available on the KUWS-FM Web site at http://kuws.fm .
