Josh is a member of the Jazz Band Combo that practices once a week. This has been a great opportunity for Josh to become a better musician. He has benefited from having a extra year with Mr. Quamo and from the other members of the combo He has learned more about Jazz music and learned how to do improvisational solos. He went with Jazz Band to the Highland Jazz Festival and performed in front of judges where they earned an Excellent rating. They performed "Mercy Mercy", "Take 5" and "Christy's Bounce". "Christy's Bounce was arranged by one of the members of the combo. Each member of the Combo performed a solo. Mr. Quamo wasn't able to be there that day, so the students had to listen to each other as they performed. I really enjoyed listening to them perform. Josh was also able to watch other bands, attend clinics, and attend a Jazz Band concert.
