The Raytown South Middle School Jazz Band played well at the Penn Valley Jazz Festival. The band received a 1 or “Superior” rating, the highest possible honor bands can receive.
Outstanding Musicianship Awards went to TaMiya Strickland on Alto Saxophone and Jaime Tonasket on Tenor Saxophone.
“This is a huge accomplishment,” Director of Bands Brenda Kueck said.
Over 45 middle school, high school, and college jazz ensembles from Kansas, Missouri, and Colorado took part in the 3 day festival.
