We had 25 students on all instruments. Each one learned something, and all were passionate about their performances.
There were classes in Jazz Improvisation and Masterclasses on each instrument
There were 4 combos, led by facutly pianist Ryan Frane, guitarist Tom Hynes, trombonist Andy Baker and trumpet Dave Scott.
The Northwoods Jazz Camp Big Band rehearsed every day, and performed on the second half of the finale concert on Saturday.
Here are some miscellaneous photos.
